As packages can be downloaded and installed without also downloading the licenses package, people could view this as a license violation.
This is what I am talking about all the time. The whole issue is not a technical issue it is a legal issue. Are we allowed to remove a license text (or whatever legal stuff) form a package and provide it via a totally other package which is made from totally other sources?
AFAIK with e.g. GPL v2 this is possible (although not welcome). Yet I think there are licenses which *must* be included with either binaries or source (if not both). If this is assumed to be "space saving" it is IMHO at wrong place (not mentioning that having files like license-7484ec123119be81a1ab4da3bba47ba9 is a little bit strange).
