The only thing that comes to mind is a unified standard for copyright statements. If I could be sure that there is a file called COPYRIGHT.statement in every source repo, containing a single line of text that I should include in the documentation, it would be a huge step forward. Unfortunately, this would require agreeing on a standard and having people follow it, so I'm not keeping my hopes up.
