Also, as it was already pointed out by Mike Meyer, a list of pre-approved licenses doesn't solve the problem of compatibility and permission to actually build and distribute binaries at all, and it would be better solved by providing some tools to view and check licenses of the transitive closure of dependencies of a package (which would, incidentally, make it easy to weed out non-free packages too, for anyone who desires so)
BTW, part of the tools are already available: the cabal-dependency-licenses package claims to report all your dependencies sorted by license type.
