In software released under GPL2, the license itself is typically put into the distribution in a file called COPYING. What is the canonical name for the GPL3 to be? Is it going to be "gpl-3.0.txt" (as downloadable from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html) or "COPYING3" or some other nice name, or is it going still to be called "COPYING"? -- Alan Mackenzie (Ittersbach, Germany).
