Lot’s of people use lots of tricks.  Personally, I do the following.

lrc (licenserecon) - this has a lot of false positives, but it also catches a 
lot of things I need to look at.  This doesn’t check copyright information, 
just licenses.

grep -Ri copyright - This is good for finding copyright statements you have 
missed.

I also find it useful to browser the source repository in Dolphin with extra 
large icons and previews enabled.  I can usually see the copyright information 
at the top of each file in the preview, and files with unique information 
stand out in the list.
