Follow-up Comment #4, task #7296 (project administration):

I think placing one file in one directory and the other in another is
confusing. The files e.g. under doc/source are not covered only by
GFDL.
The README points to direction to read:
doc/source The source files from which *.html files are generated
doc/source/LICENSE.txt Licensing information
In same location as LICENSE.txt,
[Edit; I added clarifying texts
"see the file COPYING.GNU-GPL" and
"see the file COPYING.GNU-GFDL"]
http://cante.net/~jaalto/tmp/tmp/pm-lib-20070925.1512.tar.gz
there are accompanying files, which contain the full licence texts:
*.GNU-GPL
*.GNU-FDL
There are descriptive names to the person downloading the source. The
names like these are not so clear:
COPYING
COPYING.DOC
This may a convention used by the GNU project, but unknown to majority
of the applications.
I also suspects that in Procmail library's case, the *.DOC should
include both GPL and GFDL in this dual licence situation, -- with
explanatory textx -- leading to further confusion.

I'd keep both.
