AFAIK with e.g. GPL v2 this is possible (although not welcome). Yet I
think there are licenses which *must* be included with either binaries
or source (if not both). If this is assumed to be "space saving" it is
IMHO at wrong place (not mentioning that having files like
license-7484ec123119be81a1ab4da3bba47ba9 is a little bit strange).
