I think it could be interesting if this part of the file could be parsed. I think apt or any other package-tool would be interested in explaining to the user why the license of package A is non-free. May be a line: Non-Free explanation: This package is not free because it cannot be sold for a profit by the ADA members out there (American Dentist Association). --- This way, apt could yield a pop-up info when user tries to install a non-free package. If this idea is not good, just don't bother to reply. I am not a debian developer, and I won't be harmed if it is not judged useful. -- JCD
