People who touched the code after the removal from gnumeric (and move to
goffice): Jody, Jean.
This file came from cut-n-paste-code/goffice/app/ before the goffice
split.
However I can't find where this header came from before the move to
cut-n-paste-code, but I guess it came from gnumeric itself (which could mean
this file was originally GPLv2+).

Does anyone have a good contact within Novell these days that I could
ask for a relicensing request?
Also note that not only Ximian touched these files. Many more people did
(Jody, Morten, jdassen, Jean, Emanual, ivanwong, etc)

People who touched the code after the removal from gnumeric (and move to
goffice): Jody, jhellan, jdassen (only updated the FSF address), emmanuel,
skasal, Morten, Emmanuel, Dom Lachowicz (he stole code from GTK, so that would
be LGPLv2+),
I can't find yet where this file came from before the split.

go-glib-extras.{c,h} came from gnumeric ./src/gutils.{c,h} before the split,
which would imply that it was GPLv2+ licensed.
People who touched the code since the split: Morten, Jody, ivanwong, Emanuel,
Jean
I hope I didn't miss anyone while doing the svn voodoo.
Cheers,
