I used to mention that location in the License: line of the DESCRIPTION file, after GPL (>=2). But some versions ago, that line got standardised and now it is no longer possible to put additional text onto that line. I guess you could just add a line LicenceLocation: As far as I understand the documentation, you are free to add additional lines beyond those described in "Writing R Extensions" to the DESCRIPTION file. Some entries described in the manual are optional and for those that are not some restrictions may apply that have to be followed. Personally, I decided not to put any such reference into the DESCRIPTION file of my packages as I guess that people who worry about the lisence will either look into the source package (where I have a copy) or know how to find one. :) HTH.
