Comment (by warner):

 Daira said she'll drive this. I suggested that the full license live in a
 standalone LICENSE or COPYING file, and to have the pointer (from README
 or whatever) say "tahoe is an open-source project, please see LICENSE for
 details".

 Usually I'd recommend saying "X is released under the Y license, see Z for
 details", because I want someone who only reads the README to have
 confidence that it is, in fact, open-source. But since tahoe's dual-
 license Y is kind of complicated to summarize, I think just saying "it's
 open source" is enough.
