All version I make contains LICENSE file that is included in the official
version.
There's also a link from the page directing to the official page as well.

My intention is not to compete with main tree, but rather supplement for
those people who want "jump start" or "cutting edge" stuff.

Additionally, I sign my file and provide .sig as well to show where it came
