I expect Janet will have an opinion at some point.  It seems to be best that a
policy statement be made so that the issue doesn't end up being revisited
during the legal review closer to the release date.

Personally I'd make every effort to include a copyright header that asserted
the appropriate copyright based on the input to the generator.  I'd do that
even if the the goal was only to add tags like $Id$ so that the source when
extracted from CVS would be more traceable to a specific version.  It really
wouldn't be that all that difficult to write simple SED script that replaces
all the text before the initial package declaration with a reasonable
copyright.

For example, if you have cygwin or are on Linux, use this to visit all the
*.java files

for i in $(find src -name "*.java"); do sed -f insert-copyright $i > $i.new; mv
$i.new $i; done

The script would look like this:

1i\
/**\
 * My Copyright\
 * $Id$\
 */
/^package/,$!d

Given the infrequency of the regeneration, that seems little burden...
