Thanks, Frank for the idea. I will try that on Github.

Matthew Brush, yes you are right, The licenses are hard-coded. I find 
that odd though because it makes it harder for the user to use other 
licenses. I know of many projects that use other licenses besides GPLv2 
and BSD. Whether you want to spend time fixing this is up to you. For my 
personal use, I can just keep a folder of headers and copy+paste the 
contents.

Thank you all for the help. If anyone wishes to contact me, email me at 
DevynCJohnson at Gmail.com. I just joined the mailing list for the sole 
purpose of asking my question (I will unsubscribe soon). I do not plan 
to be a regular developer. I just wanted to give something to my 
favorite IDE.

Thanks,
Devyn Collier Johnson
