It does indeed.

Luke, terribly sorry for any unintentional offense given, that was
certainly not our intent back in 2009, nor do I imagine it's anyone's
intent today.

HOWEVER

As the note higher in the file indicates, the source was taken from the
pyjamas repo. While the file did not (and still does not) include a
copyright license itself, the repo in which it is located does include
an Apache v2 license in its COPYING file:

http://pyjamas.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyjamas/trunk/COPYING?revision=2448&view=markup

Looking through the other files in the pyjamas repo, it seems to be
common practice in the repo to not list copyright licenses on a per-file
basis. Here is an example of one taken at random:

http://pyjamas.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyjamas/trunk/library/pygwt.py?revision=2448&view=markup

Here's another:

http://pyjamas.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyjamas/trunk/pyjs/jsonrpc/jsonrpc.py?revision=2448&view=markup

Given the existence of a top-level license file, the absence of any
contradicting license information on the file itself and a pattern of
not applying license headers to each file in the repo, application of
reasonable and customary practices in the Open Source world holds that
the license communicated in the repository's COPYING file is intended to
apply to all of the files in the repository unless otherwise indicated.

I'm putting this back to invalid. Whether it was your intent at the
time, you offered this code to the world under the terms of the COPYING
file in the pyjamas repo back in 2009. Since you are the one who
announced the existence of the file in the pyjamas repo on the debian
mailing list, I'm pretty sure the file was not put there without your
permission.
