Firefox is one example. In every file, you can write something like * The contents of this file are subject to the Falcon Programming * Language License 1.0 (the "FPLL"); you may not use this file * except in compliance with the FPLL. You may obtain a copy of the * FPLL at http://www.falconpl.org/?page_id=license * * Software distributed under the FPLL is distributed on an "AS IS" basis, * WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. See the FPLL * for the specific language governing rights and limitations under the * FPLL. * * Alternatively, the contents of this file may be used under the * terms of the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later (the * "GPL"), in which case the provisions of the GPL are applicable * instead of those above. If you wish to allow use of your version of * this file only under the terms of the GPL, and not to allow others * to use your version of this file under the terms of the FPLL, * indicate your decision by deleting the provisions above and replace * them with the notice and other provisions required by the GPL. If * you do not delete the provisions above, a recipient may use your * version of this file under the terms of either the FPLL or the GPL. It would also be nice to put a notice at the top level (e.g. in a README) that states that the same thing. Something like Copyright 1989-2001, Giancarlo Niccolai All rights reserved.
