But there is a problem with Cabal's sdist. It doesn't put files into the generated tarball that it doesn't know about. On a project of any reasonable size, there may be two dozen people that hold copyrights on parts of it. It's not practical to keep that all up-to-date in the .cabal file, IMHO. That's why I have the COPYRIGHT file. The license file is useless without it.
So what do I do here to make sure that all the license docs wind up in the generated tar.gz?
Use the extra-source-files field.
