Copyright and License in XML documentation

I found a few moments to work on cleaning up licensing issues and decided to go make sure all the date_time xml docs have licensing info. The problem is, how should the copyright be added to all the files? I hunted around in other libraries using boostbook and it looks like they all lack copyright and license info in all but the top level xml file. I notice that in the library main file we correctly notice the following construct in the inspection: <libraryinfo> <author> <firstname>Jeff</firstname> <surname>Garland</surname> </author> <copyright> <year>2001</year> <year>2002</year> <year>2003</year> <year>2004</year> <holder>CrystalClear Software, Inc</holder> </copyright> <legalnotice> <para>Subject to the Boost Software License, Version 1.0. (See accompanying file <filename>LICENSE_1_0.txt</filename> or copy at <ulink url="http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt">http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt</ulink>)</para> </legalnotice> <librarypurpose>A set of facilities to ease programming with dates and times. </librarypurpose> <librarycategory name="category:misc"/> </libraryinfo> So it seems one option would be to change the boostbook schema and allow copyright and legal notice elements in each file. The other possibility would be to add this as a comment: <!-- Copyright (c) 2000-2004 CrystalClear Software, Inc. Subject to the Boost Software License, Version 1.0. (See accompanying file LICENSE-1.0 or http://www.boost.org/LICENSE-1.0) --> Thoughts on how best to approach this? Jeff
