I was thinking "License: GPL".

Darcs has two files: COPYING and COPYING.LIB. The wording in COPYING.LIB is
slightly different, making special mention of libraries, for some reason.
Maybe just the one file is fine, and we call it LICENSE, to match newer
projects? (Check out Github or Bitbucket for examples.)

I'm happy to make these changes. I'm also happy to have had some exercise
for my dry sense of humour. The GPL seems to be one of those topics -- like
Ayn Rand's literary longevity -- that brings it out. I hope I haven't put
anyone off. Well, not too much, at least. :)
