I thought about committing this change to all .c files:
Removed all Copyright Timo Sirainen comments. They weren't always correct and the year numbers were rarely updated when something was changed. Copyright is owned by the creator by default in practically all countries, there's no need to advertise it everywhere.
Can anyone think of reasons why this wouldn't be a good idea?
It is always a good idea to spell out the copyright anyway. Besides, you can't gaurantee that no one will use one file somewhere else, before long the question of ownership and license becomes an issue if these aren't spelled out in each file.
anyway, if someone use the file somewhere else, the copyright can be edited :) Personally, I think that a up-to-date file named 'COPYRIGHT' or something like that should be sufficient. (though, I care only about nice code and good architecture and don't care about boring licence stuff...).
