We don't (well not really). Within the distribution there is a package called GPLv2, which contains nothing but the GPL license which is installed to the base dirctory (e.g. C:\DOS\COPYING ). Every GPL'd package still has a file COPYING or LICENSE.TXT or whatever it was called, but it is a stub file that tells the user to refer to the common COPYING or replace with full text if distributed seperate from the distribution. (Only the GPL v2 license programs have this change, the few that are under a different license still include their full license text.) And it did make a noticable difference in overall size, IIRC about 6KB less per zip (about 17KB less per package unzipped).
