Any ideas yet on situations like these?

I found several packages now that do not contain any copyright headers 
in the python modules, or, sometimes they do in the package itself, but 
not in the package's test modules.

I decided to just go ahead for now silencing the check, my reasoning 
being: if the copyright-checkscript is updated at some point in time to 
also check for copyright-less modules, we automatically will have list 
again of project that need fixing in that regard.

OK?
