The easiest, would be to allow a package with a bunch of m-files and a
COPYING and DESCRIPTION file. Is that compromise enough?
We could remove the need for the COPYING file. I would prefer if we
could educate people on the need of licenses, but it's a though fight.
Most of the matlab code on the web doesn't have a license, so if we
don't require the COPYING file we would appeal to the matlab crowd.
Without a license, distributions won't be able to include these files at
all. A compromise might be to tell clearly that the default license is
XYZ[1] if people upload without a license?
[1] I would probably choose "covered by the same license as GNU Octave".
