Provenance spreadsheet...

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Sorry for missing the IRC. I just read through the discussions.
I did update this morning all the headers of the files that were mostly 
done by DMSG/Mapgears.  I also updated the speard sheet to reflect the 
changes.
  There were few files mainly either FW or UMN licensed which has the 
same  copyright header issue described by Julien. I have them modified 
but would like to know if I can commit them:

classobject.c
layerobject.c
mapgdal.c(18):
mapgraticule.c(21):
mapio.c(18):
mapio.h(19):
mapobject.c(19):
mapoutput.c(18):
mapraster.c(20):
mapresample.h(19):

Best Regards,
