Yes. > Is there any particular reason why these per-file license statements are > bad? They're not necessary. Of course a sub-file will follow the same license as the main file. Adding the whole licensing paragaph to every file is pointless. A single sentence will do, identifying the manual is belongs to. Also, note that this was the least important request. The only thing that's important IMO is getting the copyright years. Adding a licensing paragraph in the source (as opposed to having the correct license printed in the manual, which is already done) was the second item, and any kind of per-file notice was the third.
