$datadir/doc or $docdir is not necessarily the right location to place the COPYING file. Some distributors might want to install it somewhere else. eg., Fedora RPMs [1] mark the license text with %license which puts it under $datadir/licenses. Currently, such a distributor has to go out of its way to not have two copies of the files. As a data point, GLib doesn't install its COPYING file either. Users can still see the license from the application's about dialog. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines
