[cmake-developers] CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE character encoding

[Nils Gladitz]

Yes, I think I'd prefer UTF-8 as well.
Unless most of the other generators use something else or there is a 
contradicting convention or preference for CMake/CPack?

I guess I'll try running some license files through some of the 
generators that you listed and see what comes out.

Thank you for your input!
