I'll append below what I put on files ... You'll basically be able to
substitute names :-)
Note, for clause 3, some people might just put:
This product includes software developed by Jason R. Thorpe.
However, I like it to be known that I developed the software for NetBSD.
Also, for software I write for NetBSD, I typically assign the copyright
to The NetBSD Foundation, Inc. If you wish to do this, there is a
copyright assignment form you need to fill out. Contact J.T. Conklin
<jtc@NetBSD.ORG> for more information on the copyright assignment form.
(Note, the FSF also has copyright assignment procedures, forms, etc.
It's not just us... :-)
See src/usr.sbin/screenblank.c for an example of an `assigned' copyright.
