One of the projects reached us with a question, with something that seems to work. The project could have a LICENSE file at root and a LICENSES folder? Kubernetes seems to be doing that:
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
Although not technically REUSE compliant, it could be admitted as a temporary hack?
Having a `LICENSE` file, as long as you have a `LICENSES/` folder is technically REUSE compliant (and intentionally so).
We are aware of the GitHub preference of the simple LICENSE file over having to check a whole folder we are in talks with them to improve the correctness and usefulness of their license check by parsing the whole LICENSES/ folder. There is no ETA though.
In the mean time, what you say sounds an acceptable hack.
