The list of authors will only grow, so it's better to reference it from the LICENSE files.

Closes #20

It may synchronize the two files but it doesn't resolve the fact that two files exist that will need to remain synchronized. I had hoped the resolution would be for only a single license file to remain with the second one replaced by a symlink.

As Samuel replied, it won't be possible to have a symlink. Sync'ing both files and then (hopefully) never having to touch them again is the best we can do for now. curl does the same thing.

We have to update every file in the project (including changing this line) to match what we are using in LICENSE, so it should be:
Copyright (C) Samuel Henrique <samueloph@debian.org>, Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@debian.org> and many contributors, see the AUTHORS file.
