I agree with Pedro. Copyright notices are bad/useless

 - Often outdated and incorrect (because copy pasted without
modifications, for example)
 - Don't (can't) reflect the complicated situation of OCA modules
autorship/contributions
 - useless from a legal point (see:
http://hackerboss.com/get-rid-of-templates/), copyright is implied by
autorship (which is better determined using git) and does not need to
be explicitly declared.

Regarding the LICENSE, despite what the FSF says, I think than putting
it in a LICENSE file is enough for all practical and theoretical
purposes. Just look at some big open source projects source code.
