Who authored the header file appears in the header file, who authored the source file appears in the source file. People are free to assign their copyright to Haiku, Inc. and just list themselves as author (or not) or keep the copyright. The only exception are public headers. Since those contain public API -- which generally isn't considered copyrightable anyway -- the header should name Haiku, Inc. as copyright holder and omit any authorship information. Not looking it up, but that's more or less what our style guide should say. A somewhat tricky situation is when a private header becomes public API. I believe so far we've just assumed everyone agrees to the rule for public headers and changed the copyright header. CU, Ingo
