Gcalctool copyright notices (was: GPager in gnome-utils).

Hi all,

That was the copyright message the Sun lawyers wanted in the source files
when they allowed me to release the Sun OpenWindows DeskSet calculator
(calctool) as open source. gcalctool is derived from that. gcalctool is
released under a GPL license.

After discussing it with Andrew, I'll adjust to the appropriate copyright
notices in each file as well.

Note also the gcalctool is undergoing some major revamping to try to
address some of the concerns mentioned on this list last year. I'm
working on the code right now, and will do a big putback in 2-3 days.
Anybody interested in helping out with various things related to this
please contact me.

I'd also like to work with the GNOME HCI folks and the PowersThatBe(TM) to
make sure all their concerns are addressed by this revised version.

Thanks.
