What about:
(define* (bsd-style uri #:optional (comment ""))
(license "BSD-style"
uri
(string-append
"This is a BSD-style, non-copyleft free software license. "
"Check the URI for details. "
comment)))
So we’d write:
(package
(name "bzip2")
;; ...
(license (bsd-style "file://LICENSE"
"See LICENSE in the distribution.")))
WDYT?
Ludo’.
