[GRASS5] copyleft style

[Markus Neteler]

Hi all,

here a proposal from Jan for a copyleft style:

If you add your copyright into your module code, please
use something like this example:

      /*
       * Copyright (C) 2000 by the GRASS Development Team
       * Author: Jan-Oliver Wagner <jan at intevation.de>
       *
       * This program is free software under the GPL (>=v2)
       * Read the file COPYING coming with GRASS for details.
       */

This is short but complete. Such a statement is recommended,
but it should be rather short (to avoid the addition of another
5000 lines of code to the repository).

Another hint:
If you add
$Id$

to a file for CVS-versioning, note that this is not allowed in the
*first* line of a comment. Some compilers will get confused.

Forbidden:

/* $Id$ */

Allowed:
/*
 * $Id$
 */

I'll try to fix this in the code now.

Regards

 Markus
