I think the best thing would be a pull request against

The most of the templates you are mentioned you can find at
data/templates.


Does this mailing list use bottom

Bottom posting.

Thanks, Frank for the idea. I will try that on Github.

Matthew Brush, yes you are right, The licenses are hard-coded. I find 
that odd though because it makes it harder for the user to use other 
licenses. I know of many projects that use other licenses besides GPLv2 
and BSD. Whether you want to spend time fixing this is up to you. For my 
personal use, I can just keep a folder of headers and copy+paste the 
contents.


Thank you all for the help. If anyone wishes to contact me, email me at 
devyncjohn...@gmail.com. I just joined the mailing list for the sole 
purpose of asking my question (I will unsubscribe soon). I do not plan 
to be a regular developer. I just wanted to give something to my 
favorite IDE.


Thanks,
Devyn Collier Johnson

I'm pretty sure the licenses are hard-coded, so would require code 
changes as well.


P.S. I have a really out-of-date branch (from 2012) that adds LGPL, BSD, 
MIT, Apache2, and WTFPL. If you really want I can try and update on the 
latest Git master, although it might be tricky from 2 years ago.


Cheers,
Matthew Brush
