Summary: support ELF format to help track software license

Initial Comment:
It would be nice to have liblicense to support executable
format (e.g. ELF on linux). It would allow people to keep
track of the licensing of their executables and libraries. 

Thus to be more confident about respecting the various
licenses (it may be hard for projects with large amount of
dependancies).

Additionnaly with a modification of the linker, it would
even be possible to automatically deduce the license of the
output ot to automatically detect incompatibility between
the dependancies license.
