There's no official style guidelines as far as I know
(but could be wrong). What I try to do is follow the style
I find in the file being edited.
I started with TAB indenting for instance, but as others prefer
spaces we're somewhere slowly moving there, for new code.
You'll find a mix of TAB and spaces but hopefully only in different
files.
Changing the style of files has a bad effect on history tracking
and regression debugging.

About copyright, old notices shouldnt' be removed unless
you're sure nothing is left from the original author.
