Task Todo List Remove upstream LICENSE files

2025-06-13 - Rafael Epplée

Having a LICENSE file might give the impression that build instructions themselves are licensed under the given license, creating confusion with the planned REUSE.toml license documentation for our build instructions.

To fix this, take the following steps for each package:

1. Try to extract the license from upstream sources automatically, and remove the LICENSE file.
2. If this is not possible, rename the file to "license-from-upstream".
