You seem to have done a lot of these already, but if a total sweep
of the tree to properly demarcate copyrights was going to be done
then I think something more deterministic and useful for processing
would have been better. Such as a Javadoc directive, XML container
tag or something similar etc. That would move us a step along the
way to being able to process our source files for a number of other
reasons as well then.
