This is really split between autoconf and automake, but I'll just write
here for now.
1) The license statement added in Makefile.in starts:
..
# This Makefile.in is free software; the Free Software Foundation
But then it is copied into the Makefile too, so it's no longer the
"Makefile.in". How about "This file", or "This Makefile" -- seems
sufficiently generic to me to cover the Makefile.in too? Or I suppose
autoconf could add yet another statement "This Makefile is free ...".
2) [More important.] How about having autoheader add the same statement
to config.in?
Thanks,
k
