Actually I don't mind options 1, 2 or 3 (all of these options fulfil the
legal obligations of the license, right?) -- 4 seems like unnecessary
effort for no real gain.
Don't forget the "nodocs" use case, which the separate license tag
helps cover. That means 2 or 3 is preferable to 1. My suggestion would
be to go with 3 and then to ask upstream to separate it out. Ideally,
if they're using a standard license, we can in the future deduplicate
identical license files, too, but only if they're just the license
alone in a file.
