[python-uk] copyright info in source

[Martin P. Hellwig]

I concur, you do not have to put the full license text in it, a reference
to it is fine.
The logic behind that request is that some files may be seen out of context
of the project (as there is no reference), without having a license
attached the file can be legally misrepresented as being public domain.


So yes a one liner as Andy has given is all you need, by having your name
and year, any reference can be then looked up by anybody who is interested.
