Follow-up Comment #4, task #14085 (project administration):

Files copied unchanged from somewhere don't need to be modified purely to
insert a copyright notice.  However, files that you changed anyway, by
patching or in any other way, may as well have a copyright notice inserted
also.

In addition, it would be good to make a statement that the files come from
<wherever> as opposed to being originally written for your program.  Like item
2 in https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#External-Libraries,
except without the "GNU", since this isn't a GNU package.

Hope that makes sense.  Let me know if questions/problems.
Thanks, Karl.
