Despite differing opinions, I have added GPL headers to any program.C, header.h, and include,inc files where missing to the best of my ability with attribution when clear to do so. It should be at least 90% correct in the guicast, cinelerra, and individual plugins/themes directories. Not sure it is of much value, seeing as how there aren't many comments and so many of the programmers are no longer around, but the intent is good. With the addition of the "Authors and Contributors" to the manual at the end of last month, hopefully little history will be lost. As always, we can correct any mistakes.
for seeing this window you
must have successful compile, and if compile was not successful you look
into source files ( I think this might be part of rationale about
putting them there ). Each source file usually worked on by some
developers, so knowing who works (worked) on specific part is also
important (when you have 1000+ files). Putting ALL program authors in
EACH file obviously wrong, but making sure relevant names appear in
files you get right after unpacking source considered good tone....
