I dunno. I'm not really in favor of stuff like this:
I wouldn't stick a license statement on a file unless I am the author,
or I get the statement from the author.
I'd just leave out the "See the reference manual". I don't see the point of it.
I'd leave out "This file is part of Maxima" too. If you find the file in
a Maxima CVS sandbox or tar ball, you know it's part of Maxima.
I'd leave out the "File:" bit. It seems superfluous. If you see the
file name, that's enough. The name of the file might be superfluous, too;
I don't know for sure.
In general I think it's wise to avoid uninformative boilerplate stuff.
best,
