adding copyright/disclaimer/open source license

Hi all,

I need to add a copyright notice and a disclaimer to a project that's going open source.

Does anyone know of a way to add the same block comment to a bunch of source files at once, e.g. in Eclipse or by using a little utility program? It wouldn't take long to write one, but I'm pretty sure others faced this problem before.

On a someowhat related issue, I'm going to distribute it under the BSD-style licence. I saw that other projects simply reference LGPL, for example; something along the lines of you should have received a copy of LGPL with this library, if you did not, please write to the open software foundation... but BSD is a template. Am I supposed to include the full text in every source file?

Any ideas?
