that is a misstatement.

It was previously our (loooong time) policy, that the "i copyright"
file, contain the actual license file.

However, some time in the not-too-distant-past it was agreed that it
was acceptible for the "i copyright" file to only reference the full
copyright file, as delivered in the package.

(the reason for this, is that the "i copyright" file gets displayed in
its entirety, at pkgadd time)
