The LICENSE.txt is actually HTML instead of being a plain text file. Fix it.

Why is this file there at all? The packing script adds the license file.

Two main reasons: 1) if you download the code via 'git' the file is not present, 2) if you download the package from a mirror you don't get the file.

@DamienMcKenna the license file is GPLv2+ so it should not be there. Actually, the license does not require that a license file is present, and Drupal discourages (https://www.drupal.org/node/1587704) adding such file in the git repository.

I also see your unanswered question here https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal_lwg/issues/1663716 ;-)
