Hi, I read the Copyright Assigmment Agreement, I think it is excellent. 

Now, I am thinking in customers and sponsors of Axios. I guess they will agree 
with this “Agreement” but they will want a site in the header file. Some 
times this is only a way to justify the invest. Maybe something like: 

/*

 */
 
 ...
 
 //in class javadoc
 @author Author S Name.     Original (c) of XbeforeY Corporation, granted to 
OSGeo.
 @author Zaphod Beeblebrox. Original (c) of author, granted to OSGeo.
 
Adrian Custer suggest this formula in axios udig extension project. 

I think this “header formula” (or other better) could solve the sponsor 
psychological problem: “where is my money?”. 

Is there any conflict or incompatibility?

cheers!
