Only Thomas may speak for himself, but I guess he fears the amount of work
involved in adding the copyright statements for all contributions. But in case
the work is rather done by the contributors themselves by proposing patches to
the copyright statements, this should be a non-issue; after all, it won't cause
unexpected behavior of the code...

Who on this list is actually opposing following the suggestions of both, Henning
G. and Henning S., to a win-win solution as follows:
- Merge Henning's copyright-patches now (or rather, before the next upload)
- Discuss the future procedures at the meeting in Essen
Happy flaming,
Michael
