Seems like a great idea to me... But I think it already came up some
time ago, and I vaguely remember that RH legal blocked it because the
license itself -- not just a symlink to it -- had to accompany the
package.
Or just ship the license with the package, but make the package
manager smart enough to hardlink common identical files.
