Hi! I need to release my code under some open source license (yet to be decided) so is there any rake task available that can automatically add license headers to all my models, controllers, tests, fixtures and plugins? Regards, Mohsin Hijazee ---

It adds a structured comment to the top of all your models and fixtures. -Rob Rob B. [http://agileconsultingllc.com](http://agileconsultingllc.com) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid
