To add to what Karl Berry have already answered.
AFAIK 'unknown' is not used any more, it's replaced by noinfo. Actually
there is an entry in the Catalogue (but not in texlive.tlpdb) with
license type 'unknown' -- latex2e-reference.xml. Probably, an error.
Packages in texlive labeled 'artistic' are actually licensed "under
the same terms as Perl itself", i.e. artistic+gpl. Cf. the beginning
of http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2009-October/022831.html and
http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2009-October/022837.html for more
info.
IMHO the real problem is noinfo.
