Well, to get this right (that is, to avoid having to go back and fix
the initially-created files), the answer has to be "Yes."
I have a compromise suggestion ...
In the "New Project" dialog (where you choose the project template),
also show a list of address book entries, perhaps defaulting to the
"me" entry.
Those of us who have different copyright notices in different projects
can create special-purpose address book entries for each, and just
choose from the list when creating a new project.
In that case, it would be nice to use the name in the chosen address
book entry for the "created by" substitution too.
Personally, I prefer Andy Lee's suggestion of managing it entirely in
Xcode, but if you're set on using the address book, then at least let
us choose which entry to use.
