This has been mentioned in past reviews.  Basically the intent is for
=E2=80=98license=E2=80=99 to reflect the license of the whole, but we often=
 end up
leaving a comment in cases where there=E2=80=99s some ambiguity.

I think it=E2=80=99s hard to do better without maintaining =E2=80=98copyrig=
ht=E2=80=99 files
=C3=A0 la Debian.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
