Take a look at what "help edit" describes.

So you should be able to place your own license text in place of the GPL
license (the default).
edit ("license", "## place your license terms here")
After that when you create a new m-file you should see license at the top.
To change the copyright to another individual or entity ..
edit ("author", "new.copyright.holder")
