I think to satisfy all, you need

ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES  (which is USE of software requirements)
and
DISTRIBUTION_LICENSE (which involves ftp-mirroring, cdroms, email attachments)

Certainly some of the above like GNU-GPL-V1 may fit in both, but I think
it's needlessly convoluted to try to express 2 concepts in 1 variable.
