In case of doubt, a LICENSE file or a COPYING file is useful. A line in
the readme has a similar effect: they make sure that contributions
without a license in the file are understood to be under the license
given.

It is safer to have a license header in the files, but if it comes to
it, a court would have to decide, and they can know common sense.

But I am not a lawyer so I prefer to be on the safe side and just
include a COPYING file, a line in the readme, and licensing headers.

Best wishes,
Arne
