Yea, we've thought about that. Currently, the winning idea is one where
we provide a "licenses" package that includes all the standard F/OSS
licenses out there. Then the PKGBUILD's license array can included one
or more of these (some software is multi-licensed).
If a piece of software has a custom license, then we could write
something like "custom" in the license field and include the license
itself in /usr/share/licenses/{pkgname}.
Thoughts?
