I propose we document that the license field should if possible contain an identifier from http://spdx.org/licenses/ http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6867
Do you expect this field to be a string, or should it be encoded in some special way (e.g., a keyword representation of the identifier)?
If we do the latter, we could check it but (a) this would bloat ASDF further and (b) it would incur a maintenance debt in perpetuity as the set of SPDX identifiers changes.
One more question: What if the software is NOT open source?
