to summarize what I just did...
I took Aarons wonderful recommendation posted to his blog and implemented it
on the dspace-services, dspace-solr and dspace-solr-stats projects... we can
use it as well on the dspace source tree with some minor changes to add
dspace-pom as the parent of the dspace-parent pom.

I've created a template for licensing in java, xml, jsp, html, property, etc
files. running the license:format task will walk all the source and update
licenses appropriately.
Caution, this will touch many many files and change them. I would recommend
not doing it in the trunk until we are ready to officially release 1.6.0
(not before, not after) because it will seriously increase conflicts on svn
merging and applying patches. We have much work to get done before 1.6.0.
Maybe add it as a jira task and set a target time-frame of dependency for ti
to happen just prior to 1.6.0 release.
Note, the new license blurb I attached to the dspace-service etc uses a much
smaller boilerplate text and references to the license externally,
https://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/licenses/LICENSE_HEADER
this reduces the requirement to change all the embedded licenses when the
canonical license has changes.
