License finder?

[Paul Lussier]

Does anyone know how to programatically obtain license information for
Debian packages?  I essentially want to do a:
       dpkg -l |awk '/^ii/ {print $2}' | while read pkg; do
            echo -n "$pkg :";tell-me-what-your-license-is $pkg
       done

Any ideas?  Neither apt nor dpkg seem to have --what-license option :(
