Not wanting to start a flame-war or anything  ...

Any Debian package contains "/usr/share/doc/≤pkgname>/copyright"
which contains the copyright info.

Perhaps RPM has some way this information can be directly displayed using

	rpm some_option pkgname.rpm

_without_ installing the package.

If that is the case, then this would be a good feature to recommend
to the "dpkg" maintainers.

Kapil.
