The GPL world suggest things be done this way:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

"Whichever license you plan to use, the process involves adding two elements 
to each source file of your program: a copyright notice (such as “Copyright 
1999 Terry Jones”), and a statement of copying permission, saying that the 
program is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (or 
the Lesser GPL)."

Perhaps the thinking behind that will throw some light on your problem for 
you.

all the best,
