This is a header proposal for all the .c files. Please comment on it: /* Copyright (C) 1993 Robert Nation. No restrictions are placed on this code, * as long as the copyright notice is preserved * Copyright (C) 2007 Fvwm Comitee * * This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. */ Maybe the copyright should be left to the bottom of the header, as some files have more copyright holders than just Rob Nation. Any advice?
