Can someone tell me which all licenses restrict a user from removing the license notification at the top of a file?

Case:

Some JavaScript files have sections like this:

“/* RequireJS 0.26.0 Copyright (c) 2010-2011, The Dojo Foundation All Rights Reserved. Available via the MIT or new BSD license. see: http://github.com/jrburke/requirejs for details */”

During compression is it fair to remove this?

You won't run into any problems removing the license from the top if it doesn't say you can't. A minifier will remove the comment too.

Just don't redistribute the code without the license.

Both the MIT and BSD licenses (the two options that header indicates) require that the license is kept intact. You should not remove it during compression.
