Yes, I just added an MIT license to all my work after some people suggested it. I was just too naive to think no one would do this, hence my very loose initial license. Wouldn't the "Please include the original header in any modifications or redistributions" hold up?

"Please include the original header" sounds like you're asking for a favor rather than imposing a requirement. It's saying something different than "you can do whatever you want with this as long as you include the original header in any redistributions".
