[Gnash-dev] FSF copyright notices slightly off |

I've noticed two files recently checked in, which have slightly off
FSF copyright/license notices. Indeed, many of the files in Gnash are
that way. I think the errors are just propagated from file to file.
I've been fixing them up as I go..
Here's how our copyright/license notices aren't best:
* Each file doesn't start with a one-line comment describing it.
* There's no // blank line before "You should have received a copy...".
* There's often odd whitespace afterward, before the CVS tag.
Making it look good is easy, it just takes a moment of attention.
The GNU coding standards are documented here:

http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Copyright-Notices
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#License-Notices
When you edit a file for other reasons, please glance at the top of
the file as your text editor comes up, and fix these minor errors
whenever you see them. Thanks!
John
