Thinking about this further and talking to a few people about it, the only place that makes any sense is the source code file itself. After installation, the rest of the distribution will disappear. The license has to stay with the source. I think this is mostly a solved problem, though. The people who really care about this stuff have this enormous preambles in the source that shows the license. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude
