Comment (by voldemortensen):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/ states that the plugin must be
licensed with a GPLv2 or later compatible license (we all know that).
The example readme file given to plugin authors has this header in it.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/readme.txt
And the validator given to plugin authors the check their readme complains
if you don't have a license specified.

While it's not technically required, mostly because if you don't specify a
license its just assumed to be compatible, we might want to support it if
there's that much emphasis on it.
