Some license scanners are particularly dumb and when combined with
automatic license scanning for FLOSS accreditation on forges cause
problems on renewal. As GPL 2.0 applies to the core code link the main
licence text to COPYING to keep everything happy.
This caused issues for the QEMU project recently as we mirror (two!)
copies of u-boot in our project.
