Just because it's coming up with something I'm working on, and related to
your (Matthias) comment on #399, it would be useful to have the license
info (possibly including something like licenseinfo.xml?) in META-INF of
sources and binaries.  Mainly thinking about making it easy for RCP
developers to hook into the same facilities for generating licensing files
in future.  Being able to access license info / origin info in the UI for
suite libraries, etc. would also be useful.

Best wishes,

Neil
