This probably isn't a priority for anyone but, I'd like to propose that the license tag have a version attribute http://www.ros.org/wiki/Manifest/XML#A.3Clicense.3E_tag LGPL It may also be worth including in a REP somewhere examples of common values so we don't end up with every possible permutation of "lesser GPL", "lgpl", "LGPL", "LGPLv3", etc.
