license :: License, -- OR? licenseFile :: FilePath,

By the way I have half-baked tool that generates MSI installers from Cabal packages for Windows. Since the installer shows a dialog with license information and I Agree/I Disagree buttons, I have generate some license description text. I wonder whether it will be possible to generate the text from license field, some text template and maintainer, author, ... fields. I am not well acquainted with all supported licenses and I don't know whether I will have enough information in the package description. Any thoughts? Cheers, Krasimir
