Or we could just do

Files: Stuff.tar.gz/foo.c
Copyright: Copyright 2005 Some Company A
License: ...

Files: Stuff.tar.gz/bar.txt
Copyright: Copyright 2002 Some Person B
License: ...

Files: Stuff.tar.gz/baz.c
Copyright: Copyright 2002-2007 Other Fictional Entity
License: ...

and then just treat files which are known to be tarballs (or some
other archive) as if they were unpacked directories.
