Geez is it necessary to have a compiled in 2K static table in every
C file describing the terms of distribution????

First we get the GNU people tacking a 3K copyright notice on a 400 byte
program, and now we not only get the same thing on each C file, but
it takes up memory/swap-space to boot!

How about a notice in each file saying "For conditions of redistribution,
see the COPYING file." 

This is getting ridiculous.
