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

updating the version of Ubuntu on the buildbot and don't fail - or

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.
The version corresponding to our buildbots (Ubuntu 16.04) is available here:
