Description
```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install new app with permission com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE (and
without INTERNET permission)
2. No record for the new app is shown in droidwall
3. New app cannot check license
See
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/licensing.html#manifest-permission
Sample app (atm on sale, i.e. free):
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/167414/advanced-task-manager-for-google-nexus-one/
I don't know what the best solution here would be. Some thoughts:
i) automatically grant the app the right to access the inet if it does not also
want the permission to access the inet
ii) treat it like any app that wants to access the internet (and mark it als
'license check permission'-only app)
```

Research direction
Reproduce the problem with an Android app declaring com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE without INTERNET, then trace how DroidWall discovers and classifies app permissions. Done means the app is represented correctly and can perform its license check according to one of the proposed permission-handling behaviors; the issue does not identify specific files or tests.
