I found some more Fortran files from Jaroslav that were using the old form of the Copyright block.  I updated them here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/0dcff7695e26).  I think this bug can be closed now.

Let me re-generate the list using a more up-to-date version of my script.

I'm working on this.

I've noticed a few false positives in your list.  For example, the build-sparse-tests.sh and build-bc-overload-tests.sh files have copyright notices.  How did you create the list?  Could you modify it to remove those false positives, or should I modify the notices so they are recognized by your test?

This may, or may not, be an issue.  These files are very specific to Octave and it is unlikely that anyone would be able to grab the code and use it profitably for themselves.  On the other hand, a lot of the files for building Octave do have a copyright notice so why not be consistent?
