Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Yes, I thought so while reviewing the patch. It's safe to not mark all
 licenses, as B_TRANSLATE will default to english when no translations are
 found.

 I think adding all the licenses to the translation is just cluttering the
 catalog files, wasting space and annoying the people doing the
 translations. So, I think we should instead:
   * Mark only the licences where there is something to translate ("MIT (no
 promotion)", but not "MIT").
   * Mark only the first occurence of each license. Maybe move them to
 constants instead of repeating the strings.
