I agree. Repetition in source code is, at best, annoying. Even if it is only in a license comment and not the code itself. Having the license in the file itself also... [sorry, sent too soon] ...makes the text subject to tools like "find" and "replace" which can alter copyright and is undetectable by the compilation process.
