In this case, we've had clear directions from the FSF that new files
should always have a copyright header. The lack of header in other
files is a potential issue which we'd like to solve, if we had the
time (to do the research)... But, in the meantime, making sure that
new files have the header allows us to at least not make things worse.
Thank you,
