Hi there,

I am sorry for that code-repost.
I just talked with Sylvain from gnu.org and here's a snipplet from the 
conversation :

Yes. Basically, all files of more than 10 lines should carry a
copyright and a license notice.

We have some additional documentation for GNU maintainers about these
issues. You may want to check:

www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html
www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices.html

Thus, I added it into concerned files.  It might seems useless for 
people, but as I am not a GNU Monks like Harald, I prefered to add it 
now before it get into pom.

Hope you won't whip me for a complete pom-ng package re-post.

Thanks,

Samuel
