Hi Andreas, I have started to use the header License field of the machine-readable copyright format, to attempt to summarise the license of a package as a whole. Since we are gathering the copyright files, I hope it can help to move more meta-information out of the tasks files. Writing license summaries is not that easy, and I am not entirely sure what is the consequence when being wrong, but provided that in doubt we simply refrain from writing something, I think that it would be a good next target after the bibliographic information is under control. I see that you also have interest in the source package control files. I think that it would be indeed a good idea to have them. It would also make the metadata repository more self-contained, as these files contain the VCS URLs needed to refresh themselves and the other files. In that sense, I do not think that we would need an additional file to indicate the VCS URLs, but rather simply fix them in the source package's VCS and in the medatada repository in case of unresolvable mismatch. I would like if possible to have more slow-paced prospective discussions, hopefully involving other persons than just the two of us, in order to better coordinate our efforts.
