I can think of an example where it would be needed: the freescale imx6
binary blobs for the GPU. There is a license text in the auto-extract
archive, but we do not save it for now (because "that's just too much
effort.")

Adding a pre-legal hook could be useful to extract the license from the
archive, for example.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
