This idea came out of #33771 and #33772. GeKo mentioned that we don't need
to ship a specific license for NSS because it is covered by
`about:license`, and we could use `about:license` for the additional
licenses we must ship, as well. Currently those Tor Browser-specific
licenses are controlled by tor-browser-build and they are included as text
files at build-time. Extending `about:license` is a good idea.
The main disadvantage I see is downstream projects who take a tor browser
package and re-use all of the tor parts but they don't use the browser. We
could achieve this by continuing with adding licenses in text files and
then patching them into tor-browser's `toolkit/content/license.html` at
build time. I'm not very excited about the additional complexity this
would require, though.
