md5 checksums on the content. That's what we did.
Technical stuff is useless when there are legal concerns. Furthermore I wonder how to 100% ensure that a license file in the package never ever changes unnoticed because otherwise licenses in software packages could become wrong when the license file is "just replaced" with a link. Of course again checksums may help but again technical stuff is useless as long as there are legal issues. Bottom line: First and foremost one must get the legal issues solved, then one can start to think about the technical stuff.
