How does this look for copyright template in a group file:

copyright(prefix) ::= <<
<prefix><[
  "Copyright (C) 2006 NonProfit Organisation Name.",
  "Contact: zen at freedbms.net"
]; separator="\n"+(prefix)>
>>


And then later, its use somewhere in another template, with a
Java class comment style prefix:
<copyright(prefix="// ")>

This serves the purpose of having a copyright template, and
documents this particular group file by virtue of having the
copyright template at the top of the group file, but other sub-
group files which reference the copyright template won't have that
luxury, and I would like to include a copyright at the top of each
file. Thus my original post.

Thoughts?
