Hi,

You quoted the list. That means that all the symbols in it stay symbols and are 
not resolved. Instead of substituting the actual license license:asl2.0, it 
will literally put 'license:asl2.0 into the list.

I'd just use something like (list license:a license:b) .

It would also be possible to use quasiquote but I'd not do that in this case. 
It's too obtuse. `(,license:a ,license:b)

It's an URL in a comment - I'd be fine with it as-is and I wouldn't break it 
anywhere.

Seems reasonable.

> As variable name, I chose "proj4". Is that correct?

Why not use the variable name "proj.4" too then? *scratches head*
