Comment (by mdawaffe):

 Having a root license.txt or COPYING file is good enough; I don't think we
 need to have a header for every file: just those outside ones like
 external JS etc.

 COPYING is standard according to sambauers (whom I trust :) ), but
 license.txt might make more sense to "normal" people.  I have no idea.

 I do not believe the copyright is held by Automattic but rather is held
 jointly by everyone who has ever contributed code.
