We had to add copyright notices to a number of .mxml and .as files, and wrote a short python script to do this. The only tricky part was that you can't put an XML comment before the XML preamble (the '<?xml version="1.0"...' part), but you can put it outside the root element. If your script can recognize the copyright header it spits out, updating it to a new wording is trivial (ours does not do this yet). -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com

When they create a new file? What if the notice changes? Do they use ant to add it before compilation to each file? Does compiling Flex remove the copyright notice? If so, should one worry about having a copyright notice in the code for if/when it is decompiled? Anyone notice that comments are removed from an MXML file when it is edited in design mode? Any and all responses are invited!
