This would not be very practical for somebody who really uses skeleton  
to start an app. He would need to scan all files for headers to keep  
or delete.

Some of the newer framework libraries and lightweight apps come with a  
very reduced number of copyright & license headers. Either we need to  
add them to all files (I doubt this is necessary in most  
jurisdictions) or we should try to only have copyright/license headers  
where they are really needed.

We now offer COPYING or LICENSE files with every library. Maybe a  
boilerplate reference to that file is sufficient?

Other option:

Maybe we can settle for a placeholder tag and I add a small helper  
script to the skeleton wiki page which replaces them for any license  
string and url?
