Depends on the license declaration - pasting a licence without attribution is meaningless. It's intent is not to assert a copyright alone, but to assert the License is granted by the appropriate copyright owner. Otherwise it's just a block of text. New BSD text (no attribution inside) plus a non-license included @copyright tag may not be enough. It may look obvious by association, but it's usually just a good idea to make it as obvious as possible. That's why the attribution is part of the License text itself.good point.
