Felipe: the default license to put in new files is already configurable, see "help edit". Fixing this bug made new files match between GUI and CLI, which is desirable. The default license for new files is GPL but is user-configurable.

the header part "This program is free software" must not be included -- it should not be suggested in any way that the user's code has to be licensed under the same terms as Octave.

I am closing this bug and open a new one (feature request) for data templates or for making edit.m user data configurable via the settings dialog

The patch works for me.  It also solves 1/2 of bug #40496 where an external editor is not used for menu selections from the File->New menu.  Please go ahead and commit it whenever you can.

Here a patch for testing which uses edit.m (enabling option "always create new files" during this action).

(file #29594)

I like the idea of customizable templates, although that would have to wait until after the release.

It would be really nice if the 'template' was actually a file that was used to describe the content of the new file.
Perhaps with some majic keywords like @DATE@, @AUTHOR@ etc that would be replaced when creating the file.

Octave could look first in a template folder in the users appdata, followed by a system template folder, followed by some real basic system default if nothing else could be found.

Templates could be named somthing unimaginative such as template_cc, template_m etc so there could be a template for different extensions, and that way the user could (if they chose to change the template for a particular extension (cases where there is a company standard?)

Perhaps an enhancement for after 3.8 is released ?

The m-file template used for new files in the GUI is different than the template used when edit.m is called.  It really would be better if the GUI and CLI were synchronized to use the same template.
