Why does this sound familiar? ;-) Thanks for answering!

On the GDB side, files without copyright notices have generally been
a source of extra work for me, so I tend to be a little more deliberate
and add one unless there is a reason I cannot. I also track the list
of all files in GDB that are known to be missing one so as to make sure
we don't let new files slip through the cracks.
That being said, it's explicitly said that the file must be legally
significant for us to require a copyright notice. I don't mind removing
it, as well as the gdb-specific comment, but what would be the reason
behind removing it? Is it getting in the way? What if, for instance,
I put the notice at the end of the file?

... and use the new script instead? Although they would probably both
be toggled at the same time, I am not sure whether they serve the same
purpose. Or maybe you had something else in mind?
