Got answer from Darrell,
it is alright with him to release his contributions under GPL.
I have made the changes to the source files in CVS.
Thanks Darrell!

I tried to identify all source files in the subdirectories
which were written by him and added an additional notice that he
holds the copyright.

Example to show you the short version, from: 
	grass/src/sites/s.sample/nearest.c
/*
 * Copyright (C) 1994. James Darrell McCauley.  (darrell at mccauley-usa.com)
 *                                              http://www.usol.com/~mccauley/
 *
 * This program is free software under the GPL (>=v2)
 * Read the file GPL.TXT coming with GRASS for details.
 */

The main files do have the long version, naturally.

	Bernhard
