"State What License You Use"

I would go further and say "state what licenses apply to code you didn't write". It's dangerous to see people cull code from the internets without properly understanding who holds the copyrights.

As explained in coding horror: "Experienced developers won't touch unlicensed code because they have no legal right to use it."
