I concur, you do not have to put the full license text in it, a reference to it is fine. The logic behind that request is that some files may be seen out of context of the project (as there is no reference), without having a license attached the file can be legally misrepresented as being public domain.
So yes a one liner as Andy has given is all you need, by having your name and year, any reference can be then looked up by anybody who is interested.
