Ideally each package manager would use the LICENSE files included in the project root directory. Unfortunately package managers can't, won't or don't. * Ruby: LICENSE file must be explicitly included in gemspec, but can't access the parent directory. * JavaScript: Picks up any LICENSE file by default and nothing else. * Go: Clones a subdirectory, may not include root?. * ect, ect, ect. So while it would be really nice to de-duplicate these files, it is creating more trouble than it is worth. And while giving each language a LICENSE is unnecessary, it does make things consistent which makes it easier to (eventually) check automatically.
