Description
(Imported from [Trac #710](http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/710), reported by elliottt on 2010-07-12)
ghc-pkg has supported (since 6.4) a license-file field in the package database. It would be useful to make this information available inside of Cabal, as guesses have to be made as to the location of the license file, currently.
