Why the leading spaces?
Well, the old header had spaces, too ...but we can omit them :)
Will we just have all files as 1999-2004 or do we need to determine the actual first and last modification date of each file? The latter is an awful lot of work, but if we need to do it then there are some tools in the CVS module "committers/tools" which might help.
Nah... we never cared about that before. I don't think... ...does anyone think we have to??
Obviously the boilerplate for *.xml etc. will be different comment markers.
Of course!
Actually i have noticed a trend that people are focussing on the *.java files only (see the current scripts in "committers/relicense") and are forgetting the big job of every other text file.
Hm.... does really each and every file need the boilerplate?? ...code for sure - but usual text files?

I think that the Stefano entry should not have special treatment at the top, but rather be one entry in the list that would follow, presumably the first entry.
If that's ok with him... Stefano?
+ and we remove all author tags
I suppose so, and in both *.java and *.xml
Well, this seems to need some more discussion ;)
