You might also wish to consider changing files 'placed into the Public
Domain'. While valid in most of the 1st world, 'Public Domain' isn't
mentioned in the copyright law of many countries. Notably in Japan, the
term copyright-free is preferred as public domain is ambiguity and may
carry restrictions. That said, at worst these files should be covered by
the root licence.txt. (Source: wikipedia)
