Here's some example .OptionalPackageDescription files that I recently
checked into HaikuPorts:
http://ports.haiku-files.org/changeset/430
In Haiku if you click on the blue leaf/feather button, and then About
This System, it will bring up About This System. Scroll way down to
where it lists the included copyrights, for most of the pacakges
listed you'll see the licenses listed, these are usually clickable and
will bring up a StyledEdit window with the text of the license. This
is driven by the license line in the .OPD files.
