Comment(by refold):

 Replying to [comment:6 refold]:
 > Since `cabal-install` already depends on `bytestring`, we can then use
 `unsafePackCStringLen` and ByteString I/O functions for outputting the
 license file.

 After looking at how ByteString I/O is implemented: converting to
 ByteString is actually not needed, we can just use `hPutBuf`.
