Note that all the license files are located in the fpcbuild repository in /install/doc and installed into the directory doc/fpc during installation. That is the primary location from my point of view. The top level source directory is not such a good choice IMHO, because there are also the compiler and IDE subdirectories there and they have different licenses.
