+Comment: The CRAN policy is to encourage package authors to no  include
+ the license text "to save space".  We as in Debian are aware that this
+ is illegal strictly speaking but it seems we will not solve this issue
+ package wise with every single package author.  The better solution
+ would be to form an Debian R team which should discuss this with CRAN
+ maintainers in general.
