Should we just grab some version that works and include it in the

don't distribute it?
No... too many CPAN dependencies.
I.e., it's not a standalone script, and you'd have to get a ton of
other scripts from CPAN and distribute them as well?
Yes (naturally this is the dependency problem CPAN itself tries to
solve).
The Debian licensecheck.pl version prior to the Smedegaard take over was
standalone. I think we should import that to tools.
Done in https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/16913/.
The master buildbot check licenses step is passing with a FIXME_FILES
exception but let's not leave this hack in there forever...
I just added that because the new failures were caused by the different
licensecheck.pl version. Hopefully FIXME_FILES will be removed soon with
a better solution.
