[Mapbender-dev] License header in scripts

[Christoph Baudson (WhereGroup)]

Maybe we could change the current license header in our scripts. Is it 
necessary to include the whole text in every single file? Or could we 
just link to the file? This is how it looks like now

Maybe we could use PHPDoc to do this, sth like

Where should the URL point to? A local file? A site in the wiki?

And while we're at that, how is the status of handing the copyright to 
OSGeo?
