I disagree with that, if a LICENSE_FILE is not provided, a generic one will be installed, which is wrong, we should install whatever license actually comes with the software.
Most of us are software developers, not lawyers, when porting some software, when the software says:
We don't have legal knowledge sufficient to determine if the file actually contains a license named FOO, so what we do is actually provide the file, as to make sure we don't mess things up.
