Thanks for doing the package work!
The copyright is owned by The Trustees of Columbia University in the
City of New York and the years of the copyright are 2002-2005. I've
added snippets to the code to make that clear.
I will release CUFlow 1.7 shortly, which will include these changes.

I am packaging CUFlow for Debian. Most of the work is done.
However, before accepting it, I have been asked me to
clarify who owns the copyright.
My problem is that while it is obvious whoever owns the
copyright intends the code to be licensed under the GPL,
the is no notice in the code to say who is licensing it.
For example is it the author, or has the copyright been
assigned to someone else?
Here are the posts the Debian people pointed me to, to
explain what was wanted:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2003/12/msg00007.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/12/msg00194.html
Could you clarify the copyright situation for me? I need
to know who owns the copyright, and what year it was
copyrighted.
Ideally, each source file should contain a notice like this:
