At least that is what the GPL license also recommends. == If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. == Most GPL software follow this convention (I checked the linux source code). /* * drivers/hwmon/hdaps.c - driver for IBM's Hard Drive Active Protection System * * Copyright (C) 2005 Robert Love <rml****@novel*****> * Copyright (C) 2005 Jesper Juhl <jespe****@gmail*****> * * The HardDisk Active Protection System (hdaps) is present in IBM ThinkPads * starting with the R40, T41, and X40.
