btw a good habit everyone should try to have is, when you modify a file
add your name and date to the copyright list at the top. When
submitting or reviewing a patch, should check for this.
I know I often forget it when I review and submit patches, but it's
always correct and best to do this.
People sometimes feel shy about this but they should not - it's just a
statement of fact. If you wrote some code in the file you (or your
employer) will own the copyright, until/unless you sign a contract
relaying it elsewhere. So adding your name to the top is a statement of
this factual situation.
