In the 'tarballs-software' directory, the licence of the README.md file is missing - we should add e.g. a permissive licence within the file.

We also need to state the licence situation of the cert.pem* files. If these are available in a Debian package, then looking at `/usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/copyright` of the package should show us the licences as curated by Debian developers. In ca-certificates the file ca-certificates/-/blob/master/debian/copyright lists GPL-2+ and MPL-2.0 for the packages' files divided into two sub-groups. I haven't checked which (if any) of "our" cert entries match the Debian ca-certificates current (or older) versions.

PS: I posted this as an issue on gitlab.com [1], but I'm happy with the current policy to have the main bug report here on Savannah to keep bug and task lists unified, treating git repository issue trackers as complementary rather than primary.
