Sounds ok for me. It might also be useful to only generate a license report including the target or 
host packages. In many cases only the target license report is of interest to the final customer.
So the command might look something like this:

'ptxdist license-report'   generates 2 reports: 1 for the target and 1 for the host packages
'ptxdist license-report target'   generates  1 report including the target packages only
'ptxdist license-report host'   generates  1 report including the host packages only

Also, it would be helpful to have a short-list with the package name, version and license 
type only, without all the license text. Maybe like this:

'ptxdist license-report target short'

foo, 1.0, BSD
bar, 2.8.1.5, GPLv2
...


Greets,
Michael
