    You should also include a copy of the license itself somewhere in the
    distribution of your program. All programs, whether they are released
    under the GPL or LGPL, should include the text version of the GPL. In
    GNU programs the license is usually in a file called COPYING.
    
    If you are releasing your program under the LGPL, you should also
    include the text version of the LGPL, usually in a file called
    COPYING.LESSER. Please note that, since the LGPL is a set of
    additional permissions on top of the GPL, it's important to include
    both licenses so users have all the materials they need to understand
    their rights.
    
    * configure.ac (COPYING): No more games with non-git file.
    * COPYING: New file, copied from gnulib.
    * COPYING.LIB: Rename...
    * COPYING.LESSER: ...to this.
    * .gitignore: Track licenses in git.
    * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_copyright_address): Tweak
    rule.
    * libvirt.spec.in (daemon, client, python): Reflect rename.
