is findind it difficult to deal with multiple licenses. Any solution
should cover Hackage not just GHC.
There are patches floating about to automate the aggregation of license
files for big stacks of packages. It would not solve the problem of the
aggregate license being big, but at least it would be automatic. This
aspect of the patches I think is not blocking on the other aspect which
needed reworking (that handled license compatibility checking).
