Note also that the list of licenses mkcabal offers is wrong. You can get the list from the Cabal lib itself so there is no need to maintain the list manually.

It would also be nice to expand that list somewhat, to at least cover the most used licences - GPL2, GPL3, AGPL, etc.

Cabal HEAD adds MIT and versioned GPL and LGPL. We could not change it much earlier because old Cabal versions (ie 1.2 and earlier) would have barfed on parsing names it did not recognise. Duncan
