[csw-maintainers] License / copyright files in packages

I've just learned that our release manager is not aware of a policy
requiring to put license files into /opt/csw/share/doc/foo/license.
Currently, checkpkg requires that and if the file is not present,
prints:
# See http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/wiki/CopyRight
# -> CheckpkgTag('CSWfoo', 'license-missing', '/opt/csw/share/doc/foo/license')
On the other hand, I learned about the "i copyright" file that is
meant to contain the license file.
Should we reconcile that and settle on one policy?
