I am currently undecided, weather the licenses package is a good idea at
all. I started the licenses package, to have a centralized directory, where
all licenses in a product can be found.
Unfortunatly licenses package currently populates /usr/share/doc/licenses with
all
licenses in the distribution, without revealing which licenses belong to
installed and available packages.
Unfortunatly, this licenses package is error prone. Not very probable, but
with possbile severe effects: if a package has a symlink for GPL, but
this link is dangling, we violate the GPL.
Does anybody know if the licenses package had a space
saving effect on the media?
Any tears if we roll back to the state we had before?
cheers,
Jw.
