You're right. The NOTICE file is probably more appropriate. I've seen that thread on legal-discuss but I really don't have an informed answer here. Gut feeling: Leave the file header of each file as is but include a comment below the header indicating if the file has been modified since it was copied from the original source. Ideally, I'd put the source code in a different subtree from the main sources (same reason I don't really like having W3C sources in the same subtree as the Batik sources: keep code of different licensing sufficiently separate to make the lifes of people who have to do licensing reviews simpler).
