Two errors here:
* I didn't include the time of checking each file, which you should be doing
anyway. No doubt this can take a long time sometimes. I was only talking
about the additional work of noting each license down.
* I have made it perfectly clear that noting copyright holders was not
something I was talking about. Please do not mangle my position like this.
