Thanks for the feedback. This is a great idea. Probably similar to this idea, but I think LabVIEW projects are better to use than libraries or possibly allow both.

Question on this. Would you just want VIPM to read the file and use the contents unformatted? If you set some text as Bold in the RTF file, would you want it bold in the license display. The latter is more difficult, but not impossible.

If your code calls VIs in dependent packages, then you can use the scan for dependencies feature. This would automatically populate the package list for the required dependencies. In this case there is no need to find the packages manually. However, I agree that the manual addition process can be improved.
