I doubt that's really true. I'd be shocked if international law
refers to "files" at all. I suspect that it's actually phrased in
terms of "original works of authorship" or something like that, and
I'm pretty sure that a package like libibverbs would qualify as a
single work.
After all, when you buy a book, it doesn't have a copyright notice on
every page, does it?
