GeoTools has a canonical copyright header in:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/5.1.1+Coding+Conventions
Do we need to include a copyright header in GeoServer source files? If so, is there a canonical version for new files?

And what do I do with source files in GeoServer with the GeoTools copyright header? When I have added to a file, do I:
(1) replace the header with a TOPP header with the current year,
(2) increment the year to the current year in the GeoTools header,
(3) leave it alone?

I'm not terribly experienced with this, but here goes:
0) Don't know about canonical header
1) You generally cannot remove or replace copyright headers, unless you get the permission of the copyright holder (That's TOPP, so cholmes)
3) GeoTools probably won't accept that you move the code without changing the headers, because GeoTools uses a more liberal license.

Please ignore, Thunderbird got confused by Justin's replies coming through the GeoTools list, so I didn't see it.
