It's interesting you should mention this.  I try to include the
license file in the main package and all subpackages (eg. in foo and
foo-devel), but often reviewers see this as a bug and ask me to
include the license only in the main package.

An example of this, I'm not picking on Jason Tibbitts in particular:
