First I'd like to check that everyone who has contributed code is happy with our use of the GPL for NetSurf. It's important that we discuss any problems as soon as possible. There is no reason why we can't have some source files under different licenses, for example if people wish to contribute code under some other license, as long as it is compatible with the GPL. The GPL recommends adding a notice to each source file with the license and copyright holders. I suggest the following: /* * This file is part of NetSurf, http://netsurf.sourceforge.net/ * Licensed under the GNU General Public License, * http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license * Copyright 2003 James Bursa <bursa(a)users.sourceforge.net&gt; * Copyright 2003 etc. ... */ listing all the people who have made significant changes to that file. If that looks OK to everyone, I'll add it to each file. I can find out who worked on each file from CVS. We can also dump the $Id$ thing while we're at it since it's kind of pointless. James
