So why hasnt this been done already?
Ive been told the license file in the root dir is correct but insufficient for Debian packaging rules. So if that license file is correct, and the devs are *sure* *every* file and part of code is GPL we should be able to make the assumption that the files are cool and add the header to the files. We have permission to do this but it would be better to work upstream to get this done. ie: a patch or something.
