What about just adding a "licence" to "Description" signal, which
normally can be "gpl;none", "gpl2;none", "afl2.0;none" etc, and for
the case of a EULA would have "proprietary;By installing this package
you agree to abide...\nNew line number two."

I think that would work. Is this good for you?

Richard.
