Would you be willing to add copyright / license statements to the source files? It would make it easier for packages reviewing the license status of the package and make it easier to make the package available in Debian.
It could look something like the comment below:

This would allow the tools used in Debian to check copyright status to work well with the code. The copyright year should be adjusted to reflect the modifications done to individual files.
My goal with the suggested header is to make sure the automated tools
recognize the licenses. See [http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Creating__updating_and_checking_debian_copyright_semi_automatically.html] for some ideas what I am talking about.
