That's just something I learned to do as an employee and so far didn't bother to question it.

- txutxu 10y agoI remember being told the same in a project/company in Holland, Europe. Never have been told again. Maybe being strict worldwide (as soon as something is published to internet), or as soon as there is Intellectual Property Agreement, they are required lines. I use to avoid them in each single file for personal projects, unless it's a convention (for example in perl, license in POD format at the end of the CPAN class, is a community practice).
- Iv 10y agoMy suggestion is to put a single line copyright with the year in every file, like // (c) 2016 txutxu and a license inside the project. The default copyright license protects you from unwanted copies. But when it comes to IP rights, a lot of practices are actually voodoo legalities: people do them out of habit and paranoia, not because it has ever been useful in court.
