+This command generates GPL license headers on top of all source files.
+You can run it once per month, before cutting a release or just
+whenever you feel like it.
+
+	go run update-licenses.go
+
+The copyright in each file is assigned to any authors for which git
+can find commits in the file's history. It will try to follow renames
+throughout history. The author names are mapped and deduplicated using
+the .mailmap file. You can use .mailmap to set the canonical name and
+address for each author. See git-shortlog(1) for an explanation
+of the .mailmap format.
+
+Please review the resulting diff to check whether the correct
+copyright assignments are performed.
