If I'm using an entire file (example from 10 mins ago: http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/) I'll leave the license in the way I find it, I have no incentive to change it.
If I'm using parts of someone else's code I'll have a comment preceding it explaining where the code is from (eg: // code taken from: url). It's a massive annoyance to have to try and copy in licenses in the middle of code, it's ugly and makes reading through my code a pain. I guess I'll go to hell for it, but eh.
