The "updatetool" GUI used for SWI projects (Glassfish, etc.) already 
does this. The code to fetch the licenses loops the the packageplans in 
the imageplan, fetches the manifests, gets the license actions, and uses 
the get_remote_opener on each license action to download the text.

The client info command also fetches licenses, but it isn't part of the 
install.
