Hi,

Usual way is to use the short form, i.e. put some pointer text in LICENSE 
referring to the full license in a seperate file. [1]

Here something I put together a while back that may also help. [2][3]

That being said if the copyright are in files headers then legally there’s no 
reason to list them in LICENSE, it just nice putting everything in one place in 
LICENSE and makes it a lot easier to review.

Thanks,
Justin
