It is normal practice to include a brief license statement in every source file, to make it clear what precisely is under the terms of that license.

A small Python project of mine is apparently being included in Chromium, because I've had a bug report from them that my source files (plural) fail their build-time license checker.

They'd like me to include a license and copyright info in every source file (including empty __init__.py files).

I've responded that I don't want to be unhelpful, but I don't believe in putting duplicate license and copyright info in every source code file. To my mind, it belongs in a single central place, i.e. the project LICENSE file.

Am I being unreasonable and/or daft?
