The cabal setup recognises a small set of licences which I don't think are well explained. I'm trying to put together a canonical list for setting up new projects.
This has bugged me about cabal, why does it have a built in concept of any licenses at all? the data type should just be newtype License = License String This is actually a pervasive issue with the cabal codebase, a lot of things are hard-coded as datatypes which should just be uninterpreted thunks of data.
