[geeklog-devel] Geeklog Code File Comment Headers

[Trinity]

One possibility regarding copyrights would be to create a geekog foundation
that copyright assignment is made to. I would gladly assign any copyright
interest i might have in geeklog (i dont  even have much code in there, its
probably been replaced by now) to such a thing if it existed. Im not
interested in anything regarding copynight other than to say yes i worked
on geeklog to a HR person for employment or for bragging rights in a bar
full of techies hehe.

I do very little web dev anymore anyways.
