Would be nice - the RedHat/Fedora GUI installer already supports showing the current install status in one pane, and scrolling through a bunch of blurbs in another. It might be possible to get (at least) the Fedora side of the fence to include blurbs for the package contributors as well... I'm uncomfortable with the very large leap between "a request for the distro to do the morally right thing" and "required by license" however. As the old saying goes: "Don't let you mouth write no check your butt can't cash" - a distro could very well be willing to accept something under a "good faith best effort" basis, but be unwilling to commit to "required to under all circumstances"....
