For some known licenses, there is, see Templates/Licenses. For others,<br>
the framework will just generate a short text telling it's a well-known=
<br>
license the user would find on the web.<br>

IMHO, yes. It makes sure to package a full text. Plus there might be<br>
additional remarks to a well-known license that are, even if not legally<br=

relevant, interesting for the user.<br>
