Hm, ok, so more investigations are needed. I think it's pretty common in the code-base that stuff gets copied and modified. We need to find the person(s) who created the original "template" code and add them as co-authors to those "Copyright 200x" lines... Do archives of the older CVS trees (with full history) still exist? The svn history only goes back to an "import of freebios2" or so entry. Ah, I just noted that the v1 tree seems to go back to an earlier date. Does it contain _all_ history of the code or was something used before CVS back then?
