I guess there are plenty of solutions, but in gdcm svn trunk, I have a script which append the copyright file for each cmake-sub project (gdcm being the toplevel cmake-project). So during the cmake configuration time, a global COPYRIGHT file is now generated. I simply need to make sure that even Win32-only subdirs are also parsed on *nix system.
