Moin,

After our discussion with JSrain we decided to write to packages with
just another issue about licenses.rpm.

The current RPM content size (unpacked) is quite big
du -sh /usr/share/doc/licenses/ -> 3.9 MB

This package-size is a bit disputable when talking about saving-space ;)
Actually it is because the package contains some very-rare licenses or
some obscure licenses used just for one package in our distribution.

The proposal is simple:
- Find out, which packages in a minimal installation use which licenses
  and create licenses-base.rpm (for example) that would contain only
  those important/used licenses.
- The rest could stay in licenses.rpm.

We'd save space for the minimal-installation and we'd still have all
licenses for 'the other cases'. BTW: I have to admit, that splitting-it
up was a jsrain's idea :) ;)

What do you think of that?
Lukas
