Well, but I am under the impression that the "default license" one is an oversimplified point of view. I mean: salsa (gitlab, actually) will assume the "default license" for your project is GPL-2, just because you have a COPYING file which contains the text of the GNU GPL v2. Is this the case? What if the text is there just because GPL-2 applies to a single shell script (linked with nothing else) and the rest of the project (maybe written in Python) is under Expat? Will salsa be confused? Is it perhaps better, if salsa just links "LICENSE" to a file that correctly describes the licensing status of the project (i.e.: a copy of the debian/copyright file)?

[...] I am honestly undecided: what do others think? Does anyone have a practical proposal to outline?
