I have some scripts to help converting the source code to Apache headers.
One script simple looks for copyright statements so we can list the
contributors and identify files that have notes about contributors other
than the ICLAs.
The second changes the source code by removing and starting /**/ comment
and any trailing /**/ and inseting the AL text (it removes only the
first /**/ comment even if there are two or more the package
declaration, ditto trailibng /**/ comments).

Is this good enough?
Our standard copyright header is:
/*
* (c) Copyright XXXXXXXXX
* All rights reserved.
* [See end of file]
*/
and a large copyright notice on the end of the file. These get removed
and the AL text goes at the head of file.
Ian, Dave - I know you used different headers on some of your code e.g.:

Do you want to keep this information? (Some of it looks rather old -
and some of it is CVS related).
If you do want to keep it, could you indicate which packages contain
material that has such files in and what you want to do with it.
Chris - anything in your code areas that will get lost you want to keep
by top-and-tailing the source files?
Paolo - you've converted LARQ. How did it go? What can we learn from
the process?
