Right now, we distribute license files in the source archives by adding them to the EXTRA_DIST variable.
We do not, however, include the license files in tarballs that we make and distribute of the BINARY archives. I know automake has a lot ofrules and stuff detailing how to build and package source archives, but I don't see much convention on doing so with binary archives. Right now, our project (http://mingw-w64.sf.net/) builds and distributes complete GCC toolchains using our header set and crt. This includes, of course, building and distributing our own project as a part of it all. Should we include license files with that? We have received this feature request: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=983357&aid=2944821&group_id=202880 What is the convention held by the typical project out there? I know nothing about licenses, nor how to actually handle them. All insight is greatly appreciated.
