In the bottom right corner where you display the license tag, make each
named license into a hyperlink to the actual online text. Since we have
a pretty well defined list of allowed licenses in Fedora, we ought to be
able to identify the online URL for each. The main hard thing would likely
be the BSD licenses for which there are sooo many subtle differences in
the exact wording people use, even though they're all basically the same.

Would that be the 'yum2' backend ? Or are you working on a 'yum3' backend...
