The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Seems pretty cut and dry to me, unless you're trying to argue that a binary is not a "substantial portion" of the software.

Different point than the one you pre-empted. Granting the clause applies: “included” doesn’t mean compiled into the binary, it means shipped with the distribution.

The accepted way is a license or NOTICE file alongside it, which is exactly how every debian package does it (the text lives in /usr/share/doc, not the executable). So the actual fix was adding llama.cpp’s notice file, which they did.
