IMO they shouldn't be in the distributable at all. This will spark
discussion on general@ as well.

A single line package.html is not copyrightable, but when you have a
paragraph, or even more, it is copyrighted, and required license
header.

Not 100% convinced. I do think it is a burden to put those headers in
those files. However, if these files are intended to be modified by
downstream users, they should have a header. But you might want to
postpone this until you presented the release to a larger audience at
general@
