There are many software licenses. Some for Free Software, some for proprietary software (e.g. [1]). All of them can be stored in a file named "LICENSE". What sets the Free Software licenses apart from the rest, is that they allow copying (and much more — but copying is the first freedom). When we call the file 'COPYING', we are emphasizing that our software is Free Software. It's worth doing that, no? Bruno [1] https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sharedsource/
