You would be correct if I were applying GPL; the legal theory under
which it was constructed (propagation via a copyright hook) makes
attaching an instance to every item of copyrighted material prudent.
This is not the case with BSD or other licenses which depend on a
different way of satisfying the meeting-of-minds test, and for them that
practice is overkill.Perhaps a ruling from rms as to savannah policy is needed.
