Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-537:
--------------------------------------

Correct me if I'm wrong, but generally, I don't think there's any need to put 
license headers in generated content. I know that Thrift has avoided adding the 
ASL header to a bunch of files because they are generated. 

I think that including the variables you mentioned would be pretty much 
universally beneficial, though. Maybe they could be part of the autogen 
comment? What do people think?

> It would be great if there were an option you could pass to the compiler in

> generated source as comments. This would be useful for license texts, 
> copyright notices, disclaimers, etc.
