Ok, would the information below what you have in mind? > In fact I wonder if just a line or two at the end of the README would be > enough. For the information part that would be ok, but from a downstream packagers perspective it is easiest if there is a dedicated file where only the copyright information is bundled. Most binary packaging formats have a specific file which can be included verbatim for this exact license information. Providing a single file allows to pass e.g. COPYING to the packaging system and be done with it. Sticking to a common default like COPYING does make the life of distribution packagers as easy as possible.
