I certainly do not have a problem to insert notices into the rtapi and the few 
other source files, those will be fixed of course.

I was referring specifically to configs/* and tests/* . 

What you are proposing is to add license statememts in some 5 or so new files 
in configs - fine; that leaves the other 1700 or so existing files under those 
directories without one, which doesnt make sense to me. This is why I proposed 
the directory license statement solution for those directories.
