License files can be copied across if they are present in the setup/
directory. Reproduced from docs/meta.md

"
## Fixed assets

Some metadata is provided in the form of conventions, such as license files,
icons and desktop files among others. For these fixed files to make it into
your final snap they need to be in a `setup` directory at the same level of
your `snapcraft.yaml`.
"

Of course the website needs updating to reflect the new syntax (and the fact
that icon e.t.c also uses the setup/ dir now).
