Hi,
Would it be worthwile to reimplement Distribution/Client/Init/Licenses.hs using a TH macro that parses and loads license files at compile time? IIUC, currently one has to use a Perl script to add new licenses.
We cannot have cabal-install use TH, because that language extension is GHC-only. I suggest we change it so that the license files are external data files. Then we just use string substitution. Duncan
