I know it is late in the game to do modifications but I often find myself chasing down the actual full text of a license in a distribution. Would you be open to a new optional field that could point to the license file(s) that may be present with the distribution? May be something along these lines: License-File (multiple use) ------------------ Optional file name or path to a file that contains the full text of the license, notice, copyright or other terms of use that may be included in a distribution such as a LICENSE or COPYING file. A path must be a posix path using ``/`` forward slash as path separator. A path or file name must be interpreted as relative to the root directory of a distribution archive. Examples:: License-File: COPYING License-File: COPYING.lib License-File: docs/legal/APACHE.txt License-File: docs/legal/NOTICE.txt -- Philippe Ombredanne +1 650 799 0949 | pombreda...@nexb.com DejaCode Enterprise at http://www.dejacode.com nexB Inc. at http://www.nexb.com _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
