Comment (by atagar):

 > I wonder... if the idea is to add a copyright and license line at the
 start of every file, wouldn't be better to have a single AUTHORS file? Is
 there any difference with doing that?

 Prefacing this with the mandatory IANAL (I am not a lawyer) a header,
 while a pain in the ass, is the 'right' way of listing it as far as I'm
 aware. Take a peek at the Stem repository. All of the source files (with
 the exception of the tests) have them...

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/tree/

 > There is something I don't know how to handle: do we need to specify or
 mention all the licenses of libraries/plugins used in the project? e.g.
 AngularJS, Bootstrap, Twisted, etc.

 If we bundle other codebases within us then we should note that (and their
 license) in the readme. However, that's separate from these headers and
 the LICENSE file.
