Reuse is a specification that aims at making licensing of open source software easier. You basically have to include an SPDX header in all files, and when this isn't possible you create a file named filename.license containing the header. While I find this a bit too much this is also the only way of reliably determining the license and the copyright holder of a certain file. The use of SPDX tags has been adopted by projects like the Linux Kernel (torvalds/linux/commit/a61127c2130236168321cc76c5a58e15c00ad154), systemd, etc, and I find it way better that including a long copyright notice on top of every file. I didn't add any email address, but if you'd like to it is completely possible to add them in the SPDX-FileCopyrightText tag, between angle brackets. The specification is available on https://reuse.software
