`<#-- -->` is a freemarker comment:
http://freemarker.org/docs/dgui_template_overallstructure.html
`<!-- -->` is a XML/HTML comment.
This difference is important. Templates are processed by freemarker. So if
`<#-- -->` is used in a template file, generated code does not have the comment
block(`<#-- -->`). However, `<!-- -->` is used in it, generated code has the
comment block(`<!-- -->`). In this case, the generated code will have the
license header.
BTW, if template files are user visible(e.g. Tools > Templates > Select
Something > Open in editor), probably, we should not add the license header.
(we should add them to rat excludes.)
