I think he already included this in his proposal:
"It is not entirely clear whether all licenses *require* distribution with
binaries, but some certainly do, and we continue to distribute licenses
with binary packages, as a courtesy to the author (and some licenses may
legitimately require that we do, of course)."
Jules, did I understand you correctly that you mean with "standalone
licenses" licenses that don't apply to any work specifically (for example a
package with example licenses for you to pick from, or a document analysing
the benefit of various licenses etc.)?
Thank you,
Marcus
