Can you send the author's complete mail to you to the bug report? I think he's the one to know - whether he has the copyright for all parts - whether everything should be under the new license. So I'd need the author's statement to be able to answer your question. Except if you think that the files are so short that there's nothing copyrightable in them (note that integration of two things by one short file might be more creative work than a couple of lines seem).
