There is a COPYING file in the mod_tile directory with the full legal text
of the GPL2 and that has been there since 2007 according to the svn log.

So I don't think it would be "unilaterally declaring the license to be GPL"

I am not a lawyer, so I don't know if technically every single file needs a
license header, but I suspect one would have a hard time to argue that it
isn't distributed (distributable) under the GPLv2 given the prominent
COPYING file that has been there forever.
