WebView no longer has android's downstream licence requirements. We have kept the WebView licence checker around on the assumption that someone thought that strict checking of licences was a good idea (for the project as a whole) and there's a bug open somewhere to rename it to indicate it isn't anything to do with WebView and run it on all bots. So, if we're changing the way we check licences, we should consider what to with this as well and not just leave it as-is.

Dirk, a smart mechanism in GN to be aware of licenses sounds like a great thing. It's https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=469261 , right?
I think it's relevant for the entire project, not only for WebView -- to detect attempts of putting some third-party code outside of third-party directories.But perhaps if we rely on reviewers to detect such things and the script becomes a hassle then we can get rid of it.
