bogus licenses cause failure to install

[wchristian]

Test::WWW::Selenium seems to trip up on the new CPAN::Meta:

11-04-01@15:20:00 (Mithaldu) rjbs: is this something you could fix in CPAN::Meta or a valid problem on the dist's side?
11-04-01@15:21:47 (@rjbs) real problem
11-04-01@15:23:00 (@rjbs) it should use unknown, unrestricted, open_source, or restricted
11-04-01@15:24:01 (@rjbs) interesting that it's now(?) a failure to install with that
11-04-01@15:24:05 (@rjbs) that seems pretty excessive

17:56:41 (@rjbs) Probably what should happen in EUMM is that it should emit a warning and replace unknown licenses with unknown. I'm not sure if there's an option in CPAN::Meta::Converter to do that sort of thing.

I agree with rjbs. I've been hitting this problem and it's annoying.

Convert bogus license fields to "unknown" rather than stop the build.

It would be nice if we could warn, but there's no way to know the conversion has happened.
