Most directories in Documentation do not have a README. So refering to
it seems ok.

I guess the chapter "Legal blurb" could be deleted from README. That
information is already in /COPYING.

So maybe we should replace
-For general info and legal blurb, please look in README.
by
+For an overview of sysctl, please look in README.
and in a separate patch remove the "Legal blurb" section from README.

Best regards

Heinrich
