Why only for the Go importer and not other importers?
Maybe the behaviour of other importers in presence of unidentifiable
licenses could be unified, with some common support procedure or
something.  Then only a single location needs to be modified to change
things, and all importers would benefit.

I don't think this is correct, in the past I've put '(foobar) and
#false in 'license' fields of packages and those packages could be
compiled, without any compilation issues.  I assume the same holds for
strings as well.

Greetings,
Maxime.
