      It would be good to have ability to put the copyright notices (CRN) on the signature data files while the file is being generated. Here is the excerpt from the Oracle copyright guidelines:

      =====
      ...

      Oracle requires that a copyright notice be placed on its works to notify others of our ownership and to increase the damages we can recover if a third party infringes our copyright. The notice should be placed in a *prominent spot*, such as the bottom of the first page of an article or Web page, or the splash screen of a computer program.

       ...
      =====

      The "prominent spot" (the place for the copyrights) in terms of a signature data file can be the top of a sigfile right after the file version declarations. For example:

      #Signature file v4.1
      #Version 7

      # Copyright (c) 1997, 2010 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

      CLSS public java.applet.Applet
      cons public Applet()
      innr protected AccessibleApplet
      meth public boolean isActive()

      ...

      Adding a new option to the Signature Setup tool that takes a file containing CRN is probably the best way to implement this functionality.
