It would be ok for me (although it doesn't make the packaging easier).
But in this case it would be the best to list all licenses of files in
the project in the LICENSE.txt.

The other issue with licenses is that the current typo3-packages which
are distributed via the webpage violate the GPL. The GPL requires that
you redistribute the source code, if you distribute programs covered by
GPL. In 4.7 there are flowplayer and video-js included (both GPL), but
the source code is not included.
