In many other packages we are using a complete source file as the
license text. Should we switch to the solution you're proposing instead?
Another possibility is to do:
<pkg>_LICENSE_FILES = src/v3.cpp:1:50
To tell the package infra to extract the text from lines 1 to 50. But
we would never notice when the lines no longer match.
I'd like to have a general agreement on this before going further with
your patch.
Best regards,
Thomas
