Not to be a stickler, but isn't asking for app integration suggestions the same as discussing targets for integration? ;) We really have a chicken + egg problem: distros may be uninterested in bundling liblicense without a demonstrated need (ie, something depending on it). Developers may be reluctant to accept a patch that adds a dependency that's not available anywhere (I would be). So we're currently pursuing a two pronged approach: inclusion in at least one high level distro, patches for existing apps. Asheesh has tasks in his work queue related to developing patches for something like EoG; once we have that in place (or as that's developing), I think we'll probably target Debian first -- if nothing else their inclusion process is well defined, so we know exactly how to get the package in.
