Log:
only one license per file can use the default name of 'other' - clarify that
any other non-standard licenses *must* have unique short names assigned to
them locally, and that these tags have no meaning outside the current
copyright file

+     * First line: an abbreviated name for the license (see *Short names* section for a list of standard abbreviations). If empty, it is given the default value 'other'.  Only one license per file can use this default value; if there is more than one license present in the package without a standard short name, an arbitrary short name may be assigned for these licenses.  These arbitrary names are only guaranteed to be unique within a single copyright file.
      * Remaining lines: either copy the full text of the license(s), indicate a link to it (or them), or leave this part empty for using standalone **`License`** section(s) that matches the license short name(s) (see the *Standalone License Section* section).
      * If the files have no copyright holders nor license because they are in the Public Domain, the **`License`** field is used to indicate this fact.
