This is already done, most files which have Wine code are labeled so
atop of the file ("Some parts are taken from Wine project..."). What
I see is that Dmitry Timoshkov says this is not enough.

I think if the dev is not known, then all authors should be
credited. I.e.:
"Parts of this file are Copyright (C) ... ". Or: to gather the
original Wine

any file
which is based on Wine.
