I agree with Thomas here: do not add a license file ourselves (unless we
backport an upstream commit, in which case the patch should say so).

If the package does not have a license file, then just include a source
file, preferrably a prominent one like main.c or whatever.

And above all, better no information that bad information. So, don;t add
the license file.

Yann E. MORIN.
