Description
We should install license files with our packages to simplify later packaging.
Several conventions exist:- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards#Licenses
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines
- ubuntu seems to use /usr/share/doc/$package/copyright
I would propose to simply use one of these conventions and package maintainers for other packages need to create symlinks.
Associated revisions
Install license using ubuntu standard. Packagers of other distros can adapt in their packaging rules.
