For what it's worth, Go checks in the LICENSE file into each repo, but has a master copy of AUTHORS/CONTRIBUTORS files. See https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/AUTHORS
@fhs, do you want to propagate the LICENSE across the different repos as you describe? If you do, please also send a PR to add yourself to AUTHORS/CONTRIBUTORS (for the current change I would have preferred just an issue since it doesn't really warrant an addition, but changing the repo/LICENSE structure does). Some changes to README.md file is probably worthwhile to indicate LICENSE is local and also in a cononical location with AUTHORS/CONTRIBUTORS. Discussion is probably worthwhile.
@btracey, yes - the md was incorrect.
Please fix the link in the README for now. Updating all the repositories with a LICENSE file is a lot of work. I don't think it's worth worrying about if the licensing terms are clearly specified in the README.
README.md is fixed.
Thanks for the submission.
@kortschak , is this what we should be doing?
