I've applied to master, but after adding the hashes of the additional
license files to i2c-tools.hash.

Yann: is it expected than missing hashes for license files is not a
hard failure, when a hash file is present ? Perhaps it was back in the
days, but maybe we should tighten up this ?

Or at least in the case where one of the license files has a hash that
is present, which was the case here.
