+ . 
+ Hi Emmanuel,
+ . 
+ All source code in JDOM is licensed and copyrighted the same way. This
+ license is available in the root folder of all distributions, as well
+ as on the JDOM site, and in the root of the source code.
+ .
+ For convenience, it is also inserted in (apparently not all) the
+ source files.
+ . 
+ I have inspected these files and can assure you that:
+ . 
+ 1. those files were all personally written by me with the exception of
+    contrib/src/java/org/jdom2/contrib/ids/doc-files/TestIds.java
+ . 
+ 2. the license for those files (including TestIds.java) is the same
+ as all other files in JDOM, as expressed in the LICENSE.txt file here:
+   https://github.com/hunterhacker/jdom/blob/master/LICENSE.txt
+ . 
+ All these files are in the contrib package, which is not commonly
+ used by JDOM users. It is not likely that you are using, or shipping
+ these files. Are you sure this impacts your uncertainty?
+ . 
+ Regardless, the ommission of the duplication of the licence text at
+ the top of the files is an ommission that can be corrected. Not that
+ I do not plan to do a new JDOM release just to get this header data
+ in to source code which is already licensed that way..
+ .
+ Rolf
