Hmm... It isn't obvious thar any of the files I listed are generated.
So, I will add the full copyright statement to them.

It would be interesting to possibly add copyright notices to the
*.properties files. 

I do not know how to modify the master scripts for the generated files
I identified in the bug report,
e.g. src/gnu/java/locale/LocaleInformation_*.java and
src/gnu/java/rmi/dgc/*_Skel/Stub.java.  Does somebody else knows
about those scripts (and would volunteer to help)?  Thanks.

It would effectively be a good idea that everything in the classpath
CVS be licensed under GPL+excp, as advertized on the web page.


Thanks,
