Nice flame fest.

In my opinion, every source file should list at the top all its
authors, with the copyright dates and licences (if any).

/* Parts written by John Doe in 1994 and put in the public domain.

   Parts copyright Ann Harbour 1995, and distributed under the
   terms of version 2 of the GPL.

   Parts copyright Helmut Schmidt 1996-2004, and distributed
   under the terms of version 2 of the GPL. */

Not doing this is possibly legal, but it invites confusion. It's
much better to dot the Is and the cost is minimal. (But you seem
to have agreed to do it in the thread.)
