I thought that the idea was that the prefered name is without an extension:

<quote href="http://apache.org/dev/apply-license.html">

*Can the LICENSE and NOTICE files be called LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt?*

This is permitted. However the preference is that the files be called 
LICENSE and NOTICE.

</quote>

Commons has all been done with .txt suffixes as its much easier to deal
with.

It doesn't matter to Gump which you chose, the main thing is that if the
Gump descriptor for a project references a license filename, and that
filename is missing, it'll complain.

That has caught us on  few LICENSE <-> LICENSE.txt changes recently.
