Well... I think, we don't like bots for tasks, that are complex and 
error prone.
For well defined, well thought tasks bots are okay, I think, and 
relatively widely accepted.

As the license change will be done by a bot, inventing one specific, not 
yet used tag to mark changes and removing exactly the same tag (not 
object) later should not make trouble as far as I can see.
