Hmm... I must have missed something: where/how does mpv.el violate the GPL?
Are you saying it's violating the GPL because the COPYING file doesn't
sit next to it?

If so, the majority of our GNU ELPA packages violate the GPL as well and
I see no benefit in "fixing" that: not only the COPYING is 3 times the
size of the `mpv.el` package but every user of an ELPA package can be
presumed to have a copy of the COPYING file already (because they have
a copy of Emacs).
