These, by the way, are exactly that kind of case where a proper copyright 
header would help enormously. You know, the kind of copyright header that is 
not used at all in standard Drupal code. Like proposed in the GPL's appendix, 
link: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html#SEC4

Can we please start adding such copyright headers *now*?
The later those are added, the more inaccurate they will be.
Please.

Thanks,
