Mostly rewritten in empathy, it's not only a property container that
does nothing. empathy-chatroom.c is 361 lines, gossip-chatroom.c is
1144...

I left imendio copyright and gossip-log does not have any author in the
GPL header. I rewrote most of that module, empathy-log-manager.c is 799
lines and gossip-log.c is 2789...

*I* wrote those in gossip before the empathy fork. And those files does
not exist in empathy HEAD anymore.

The imendio copyright is still there and corresponding file
(gossip-app.c and gossip-spell-dialog.c) does not mention any author.

So I don't see where is the error, have you objections or other wrong
files?
