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.
