ok, so I would suggest to change the header of those application files 
from "This file is part of libde265." to something like "This file is 
part of a sample application to show the usage of libde265:"

Yes, that would be ok. The icing on the cake would be if you add this as 
comment to debian/copyright as well.

No, that information should be part of the source tarball that everybody 
can download.
