Adding missing license files

In a review, I was told:

MUST: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the
license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the
license(s) for the package must be included in %doc.

Now the package's README includes the text below.  I added a GPLv2
COPYING file as SOURCE1 and installed it as a %doc file.  Is this really
wrong?  It's hard to imagine why.
