It would be really great if it were somehow easy for Haskell developers to be easily able to check the licensing status of various bits of code - tools, libraries, etc. - that their software uses, or that they are thinking of having it use. It's not too hard to look into now, but after the Haskell community and hierarchical libraries have grown much more I don't know if one might wish that something had been built in early on that somehow eases semi-automated checking.
