Hm. The fact that this file is not present in the upstream tarball we
are using is a problem, then. If this file is present, we can assume
that whatever is written in it is valid.

The reason why came up with my original suggestion in the first place
was because I didn't found a proper copyright notice.

As far as we are concerned, just requiring a proper copyright notice
(i.e. the LICENSE file) should be enough.
