    You would be correct if I were applying GPL; the legal theory under
    which it was constructed (propagation via a copyright hook) makes
    attaching an instance to every item of copyrighted material prudent.
    This is not the case with BSD or other licenses which depend on a
    different way of satisfying the meeting-of-minds test, and for them that
    practice is overkill.

Perhaps a ruling from rms as to savannah policy is needed.
