In the Celix case the file can/should be removed. But otherwise, it being a
file created by a tool, a NOTE or README file can be used to "set" the
license. Celix uses this to clearify the license information on some input
files which are processed during the build.

This is what I noticed as well. It seems more likely that the browser does
something wrong here. Looking at the headers I couldn't find anything
strange. Funny thing is, for Chrome a bug has been solved to strip an extra
gz from downloaded files: [1]
