Seems fine to me as long as we otherwise stick to our prohibition on
file duplication.  Do we need to somehow define "license files"?  If
documentation specifies "this is GPL", does that make it a license file?
Does the presence of a COPYING file change the answer?  (I know, it's a
relatively pointless question, but I know with certainty that it won't
be too long before it is asked in a package review.)
