No generated source code bears any expression of creativity
or art whatsoever, and is therefore not subject to Copyright law.
Therefore, just leave the source as it is (without any copyright
header), and check it in.
If there is any copyrightable material in the generated code,
then it's the template from which it was generated. Therefore,
that very template is responsible for adding a copyright header
or not.
Also, note that the absence or presence of a Copyright Header
does not change the legal status of any material in any way --
its copyright owner, or license information exist or do not exist
regardless of whether that information is in the source file or not.
Having it in the source file is just a matter of making it easier for
adopters to find the relevant information.
