In order to enforce licenses, the first step is to make sure everyone declares one on upload. This will also catch some people who make a junk readme.

Question: if we're going to start adding this sort of thing, then would it be worth reviving https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-check/ and using that, similar to how we use theme check now?

#3 @Ipstenu

@Otto42 Probably. I'll see if I can port it over now that I have a better idea of how to check for everything via bash.

Well, it's not difficult to do, mainly I was just wondering if there were any other checks we have that we might make modular and move into a plugin form like this, for much the same reason I made theme check initially.
