According to the FSF website we have to have at the very least in each file "...each
file should
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is
found." Which in our
case is the COPYING file in the top level directory. If developer names are missing from
our
source files we need to add them. The lack of a copyright notice does not imply Public
Domain or
no-copyright as works are copyright by default with no license upon creation. Anyone that
is
trying to say otherwise is trying to rip the work of a author.

Thanks
Steven
