Conveniently just using a DVCS like git (and allowing public access to the git repository from which you build any binaries) seems to meet your obligation here unless you imagine a legal opponent will convince a court that the resulting metadata doesn't constitute a "prominent notice" carried by the file. All bets are off on language like that where lay people (in this case people who don't read source code for a living) have no intuition about what's intended.

But as soon as you do a release from it, and make a tarball, if that tarball doesn't have changelogs and updated version numbers, you've broken the rules (besides, it's just bad manners and confusing).
