But last time this was brought on the table people felt this was dangerous legally and each package should have its own license payload. Now what hasn't been tried yet is to have this payload install in standard places, which if my understanding of rpm is correct will work, as long as each GPL version 2 package (for example) uses the same file with no indenting changes And come to think of it, if rpm barfs because two files install the same license text, but the md5sum of the license files differ, well there is some risk one of the projects is not using the original license anymore, but some "improved" (and probably no longer OSI-compliant) version. However since some licensing templates put the author/project name in the license text, all licenses may not fit in this scheme. Gwaaaa, why do you put this on the table, head is hurting, need to go to sleep ;) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
