It screws over any user who wants to make use of the feature. |

Erm. That isn't the point of licence groups. The point of licence |
| 14 |
groups is to allow the user to accept a group of licences that have |
| 15 |
been reviewed by some relevant third party. Using them for "whatever |
| 16 |
licences I need to get blah" defeats the entire purpose of allowing |
| 17 |
users to do licence filtering at all. |
