[python-uk] copyright info in source

[Gilberto Gonçalves]

I understand your concern since it doesn't look very DRY to put the license
in all the source files but I believe
that putting at least a header in each of the files as well as a full
License file in the root of your project is the
best way to do it.

Check this:

Cheers,
Gil
