I got the upstream authors to improve their licence file, and they did
it. So that will be solved in the next iteration. Thanks for your
advice.

Do anyone have an idea of how to automatize it? I'm woried that
upstream changes these files to add some information, and I miss that
change. I could of course review the files at each upstream release,
but I'd feel better if I could get a warning when these files change.

Thanks, Mt.
