First off, it's great to see some progress in this area.  Having a 
method to find plugins is invaluable to the WP community.  Great work 
so far.

I would very much appreciate if the license type were part of the data 
collected about the plugins.  From a personal perspective, I won't use 
plugins that don't have an explicit license history with them.  I also 
know that many people have issues if a WordPress plugin is released as 
non-GPL, something that arguably EVERY plugin for WordPress must be 
released under, as they make function calls between one another.

I guess it's very important to me  and perhaps other people, because of 
the fact that I wish to stay away from these plugins that are in grey 
territory.

Best,
