Mifos licensing and copyright information must be present in all source code. Source code can usually be found in plain text files with extensions like .java, .xml, .sql, and so forth.
The date range is (and must be) included. resources/scripts/relicense-java-file.py aids in yearly maintenance of existing copyright notices.
Java source code (.java)
The following block of text should appear at the very top of the file. The text should appear exactly as follows; it should not be a javadoc comment. See org.mifos.config.ProcessFlowRules for an example.

Freemarker templates (.ftl)
Freemarker templates do not include license text. This makes freemarker templates more terse and maintainable. Also, all of Mifos (including .ftl files) is covered under the same license; it is unlikely that .ftl files are useful as-is outside Mifos.
Java Server Pages (.jsp)
The following block of text should appear at the very top of the file. The text should appear exactly as follows; it should not be an HTML comment. See `CreateSavingsProductPreview <http://fisheye3.cenqua.com/browse/~raw,r=12284/mifos/trunk/mifos/src/org/mifos/doc-root/application/productdefinition/jsp/CreateSavingsProductPreview.jsp>`_ CreateSavingsProductPreview.jsp for an example.

JavaScript source code (.js)
Identical to Java source code. Note that these comments are removed during the build process (see call to jsmin taskMaven POMs), so wasting bandwidth is not an issue.
