#74 and #126 Remove "exception_to" from licenses metadata
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
 * the rationale is that an exception can aplly to many different
   licenses and there is no way to enforce this sanely and consistently.
 * instead and to support fully license expression in #74 exceptions
   will be treated with a flag "is_exception" that tags them as
   exception. This can then be used by the license_expression library
   to enforce the validty of expressions thoughout.
