Hi,

Jason Kridner pointed out that we don't actually put the license in the 
resulting packages, making it hard for finding the license if you only 
have a bunch or packages.

http://cgit.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi?url=openembedded/commit/&id=e35d1ffad1553f259b084578992f15d10f590f98

Now the RFC part:

Allow URLs in the LICENSE field for lesser know licenses and/or 
click-through licenses.

Related to that: a class that would take a text file and generate a 
preinsts that shows the textfile and prompts to accept it (or not) would 
be awesome as well.

Back to the point: what do you think of allowing URLs in the LICENSE field?

regards,

Koen
