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.
