Utopia: RPM could support License(STRING), then we could have multiple
license tags for packages.

Provides could be (ab?)used for that, eg:

Provides: License(Apache2), License(BSD)
Provides: License(Artistic||GPLv2+)

Wow. I can just hear yum choking on itself and dying.

I'd feel very sorry for the first person who did:

yum install "License(BSD)"

Yeah, provides wont do.

Dunno if you saw my "utopia" mail in this thread - some of it might be utter utopia but not all. I'm willing to help from rpm side, we just need to figure out what exactly is it that'd needed. Getting rpm enhacements widely deployed is a slooooooooooooow process so it'd better be reasonably well defined by the first attempt :)
