If you do that, are you then going to post-bootstrap rebuild every package that
pulled in Module::Build during the bootstrap process, to make sure it still
builds OK with Software::License in the buildroot?

Adding bootstrap-dependent Requires (as opposed to bootstrap-dependent
RuildRequires) has a much bigger impact in terms of post-bootstrap rebuilds I
think.
