We encountered several deficitits in the way licenses.rpm works.
I a while ago I was told it still saves a few precious MB on the media 
and is therefore still considered to be useful. This besides the
nice-to-have feature of a single location with all license texts 
was the reason for creating this package. I am unsure if this still
outweight the downsides.

Perhaps make this an be an agenda item for dist meeting to come to a final
decision?

        cheers,
                Jw.
