Here's the criterion

Judging from the face value, I'd say minimally a forge can satisfy 
this by stating in the docs that there should be a copyright 
notice in each source file.

Another simple thing to do is to display a link to the reminder in 
the doc somewhere on each repo page (like "license checklist").
