So, why bother copyrighting these kinds of files at all?  Why not simply
release them into the public domain?  On the face of it, it is absurd to
think that Sun has a copyright on my hosts or aliases files simply because
they provided an  virtually empty file with that name in the distribution...

It's tragic enough that /etc/nsswitch.conf has a 25 line
CDDL+copyright at the top.

  I asked Legal for a "shorter form" for configuration files (and files
  that go over the wire a lot, like CSS and XML for opensolaris.org).
  I'll start a new thread later today (-code) and we can examine the
  shorter block and its applicability.
