(disclaimer: the Creative Commons License rather explicitly states
that it shouldn't be used for software, but that's what I use anyway
because it comes the closest to exactly what I want my licensing to
say for an open source project)

What I do is create a custom property and file the license away in it:

put "This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5
License. To view a copy of this license, visit
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ or send a letter to
Creative Commons, 543 Howard Street, 5th Floor, San Francisco,
California, 94105, USA." into tCCLicense

set the uRIP["EULA"] of this stack to tCCLicense

then you can grab it from the custom property and display it however
you want:

put the uRIP["EULA"] of this stack into field "License"
