New comment by youngjinpark20 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/12156#issuecomment-498950644 Comment: It's true that's what it says, but the reason why that rule is there is that these licenses require a copy of the license to be also supplied with the program. If it's a binary, like the the manual indicates, then indeed we have to include the license, since it would get destroyed in the compiling process. However, in this case it's an interpreted shell script, which means the license remains intact. It's not legally necessary to include licenses like it is with binaries in this scenario.
