It came up at one point in the (essentially defunct) IRC channel with no real resolution, so I want to bring this up again before a release is made:
Do we want to set a standard line length for the license text and edit the current draft to meet that length? It will make for a stupidly ugly diff, but it might make the final product look more polished.

It's a good idea, IMO. http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt appears to use 70 characters. The longest line in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt seems to be 74 characters.
