Fair enough, that should work.
But one potential issue just occurred to me. What if a product is
licensed under multiple licenses that must _all_ apply? That would
basically be "MPL-2.0 and Apache-1.0" instead of "or". This is something
that happens quite frequently when code is taken from multiple projects
or when the license was changed, but some files were under foreign
copyright.
