Copyright and license are stated in the source SQL files that initialize the schema, and the lengthy header does interfere with the usability of the comments. 

I don't recall a discussion about this, but I'm entirely in favour of
removing the license headers from the in-database comments and just
keeping the license header in "--" comments at the top of each file, for
the reason that you state.
