What about leaving an optional contributors line before/after the distribution text, e.g.:


// Code in this file is contributed by: mmhjm dsse, jhiuiui hjh, and lkjaa dfdf, 

// and is distributed under the University of Illinois Open Source

// License. See LICENSE.TXT for details.


- OR -

// This file is distributed under the University of Illinois Open Source
// License. See LICENSE.TXT for details.

// Code in this file adheres to the licensing terms and is 
// contributed by: <List of authors>

-Henrik.
