(speaking for Dapty / Aetey) The less legalese stuff in the source files the better. A single authoritative license file for the whole package, covering all the files is best. Otherwise - am I assumed to actually have read and interpreted _every_ file to make sure I follow all the possible licenses and their variations?? (Isn't this the biggest lie of our time "I have read the license terms" ? :) The authorship is different. You do not have to "agree" to it, so do not _have_ to read it even if some licenses force you to duplicate the authorship information at distribution. Practically, while looking at the source, it is nice to to see in the files who wrote which part of the code and when, even though this is not a substitute for a modification log. Rune
