One thing you could do is post the following in the code of your mod:
"EXHIBIT A -Mozilla Public License.

[NOTE: The text of this Exhibit A may differ slightly from the text of the notices in the Source Code files of the Original Code. You should use the text of this Exhibit A rather than the text found in the Original Code Source Code for Your Modifications.]"

Found this at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.1.php

It seems that you don't need to list the whole license. Merely naming the license (with a paragraph such as the one above, given at the end of the license as an example) invokes 'the' terms of 'the' license (which is maintained at the listed url, http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/.

If you look at the first page I listed, you will see a large number of licenses that you can use/cite. I suggested the Mozilla license because the initial page I went to, http://www.opensource.org/licenses/index.php, claimed that the Mozilla license has become widely used. I assume that the GPL and other licenses are still popular too.
