I personally don't want to clutter all files with a license header which
is almost as long as the code.

dvtm as whole is MIT/X11 the madtty.{c,h} files are LGPL. I think
it's common for distros to have the full license text under something
like /usr/share/common-licenses I therfore see no need to include it
in the source tarball.

See the following link for how debian handles it:
