Its name, categorisation, who wrote it, what licence its distributed
under, what ports it has, version, maybe a short drscription.

If all you want to store is an ID then you're fine, can't copyright numbers,
but handling anything more than that places you on dodgy ground
tecnically speaking. If you pull that data from a commerically (or GPL for
that matter) licenced binary and redistribute it then I'm pretty sure
youre in breach of copyright.
