Hi Doug,

Thanks for doing that.

The FSF allows us to be lax for trivial files (with 10 lines being
one explicit limit on triviality).  But:

The problem with being lax is that it creates a little extra work
for us at the start of each year, when we update the copyright headers.
The FSF has been asking us to look into copyright headers in the past,
and it was a lot of work, so I've added a bit of simple-minded code
to the script that updates the copyright headers in GDB to also issue
a warning if a copyright header hasn't been found. That way, we can
then investigate the few problematic files each year rather than
a massive number when the FSF notices something.

That's why I always appreciate the copyright headers being added
right from the start.

So, again, thanks a lot for adding those! :)
