But I was not just saying "remove LICENSE.AXIOM", but rather to also move /src/etc/copyright to /license/LICENCE. Nobody looks into /src/etc for a license file. > This interpretation probably goes too far, but I think that it > is better to keep the file.

And why not moving that file to /license/LICENCE instead of /src/etc/copyright.txt? The other thing is that if we remove LICENSE.AXIOM, we don't remove the "notice". It is letter by letter included in copyright.txt. So how could anyone claim, that we do not include the "copyright notice"? Why would the filename LICENSE.AXIOM matter?
