Right, I don't understand why it doesn't at least look for COPYING or COPYRIGHT as well, those filenames have quite some seniority.

Hell, you can't use GNU Autotools without a COPYING file or it will yell at you until you create it or figure out the incantation to make it ignore the lack of said file. There's still plenty of software out there on github that uses automake/autoconf that wouldn't be properly recognized like this.
