This paragraph aims at the problem of tarballs containing
"inlined licenses" vs. packages containing "detached licenses".
With
* "inlined licenses": source files contain a "license section" within
their code.
* "detached licenses": A tarball contains one or more files, describing
the source's contents.
Somewhat oversimplified, this guideline essentially means: "If the
tarball has a license file, then you must include it - if it doesn't,
you must not create one"

The question at hand is not whether the tarball contains inlined or
detached licenses. The question is which tarball the guideline refers
to. If it is the large upstream installer it does include a detached
license file. If it is the extracted tarball it does not.
