I thought I had, but I'll take a look.
Most of my "permission-to-copy" statements are simply
a reference to the license, like this:
   (C) Copyright 2000 David A. Wheeler
   Covered by the GNU GPL, version 2.
I take it you want the longish text from the GPL
in every file?

True. But I wasn't sure what you wanted, so I figured
it'd be safer to mention everything I could think of offhand,
in case it was important to you.
