Why would a file ever be seen out of context? Surely to make my
source available without the LICENSE file is breaking the terms of
my license, so I'm not sure why I ought to jump through hoops just
to cater for such people. Am I wrong?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>I concur, you do not have to put the full license text in
it, a reference to it is fine. <br>
</div>
The logic behind that request is that some files may be seen
out of context of the project (as there is no reference),
without having a license attached the file can be legally
misrepresented as being public domain.<br>

<div>So yes a one liner as Andy has given is all you need, by
having your name and year, any reference can be then looked up
by anybody who is interested.<br>

I have had this with big companies before, long ago. It may
actually<br>
be sufficient to have one line saying something like...<br>
