No warning because the compiler has no way to know you don't want to do that. 
license is a field, and fields don't have a specific type except for convention.

package-home-page will read a field from another object, return a perfectly 
valid Scgeme object (a string) and Scheme is happy to put it in the license 
field. Why would it care? (:

It fails much later when something tries to read the license field and gets a 
string it treats as a license object.
