I've noticed that a lot of the copyright comments are written thusly:

Most of the time I really don't care what the difference is, but having
begin comments without end comments really urks the hell out of me. Could
this cause any problems? I'm making a general sweep of copyrights and
comments right now, and I can update these while I'm at it ...
