I'm afraid that such "blanket coverage" would not be even remotely
legal, according to the Bern convention or otherwise.  All files must
bear the appropriate rcopyright text, especially given the fact that
we mix and match copyrights under /usr/src - /usr/src/gnu is obviously
not covered by src/COPYRIGHT for example.
