This comes under the limits of IANAL of course, but I am reliably told 
that actually there is no legal need to have the license in a header in 
every file - it is generally enough to have the license in a separate 
file, and the individual files need only make it clear (e.g. a one-liner 
might do) that the license exists and applies to the file...

Or something...
