Thanks for the fast reply Ted. Interesting comments and I had totally missed the metadata settings.
I will look into the problem of importing/reading metadata from other formats.
Concerning the second issue on notifying the user seems like a bigger issue than just implementing the feature. When should the user be warned? Which licenses do conflict with each other? How should the user be notified, a popup or just a small red icon somewhere? (For me this sounds too big for GSoC but really interesting).
