didn't know that too!

1. Probably npm could auto include a licence file according to the package.json 
information before gzipping it
2. Npm could reject publishing a package if there is a licence in the 
package.json, but no licence file

This would solve the problem very quickly for actively developed modules.

I like the 2. option even more because hopefully users will push the licence 
file to the repo too.

@isaacs wdyt?
