This PR saves +370 bytes per copyright header. For +5k files.

Thats 1850000 bytes in total ... minimum.

According to https://ecoping.earth/tools/convert-bytes-to-co2-grams/

0.65 gCO2e - every time your resource is loaded.

If a developer or third party extracts a single source file without also copying the COPYING.txt file, they might not see the copyright information. The risk lies in potential misattribution if files become separated from the central notice.

My opinion is that when a developer extracts a file from the OM package, he should be careful about copyright. It is not my responsibility to check whether he respects copyright or not.

@sreichl - please don't close any PR's without waiting for other opinions.
