 Remove Christof Petig copyright on include file, per author request.

Huh, I thought what he actually told was that the file was released
under BSD license.  Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see him asking to
remove the copyright.

We certainly have copyrights attributed to individual people.  Jan Wieck
has his name on the PL/Tcl and PL/pgSQL files, for example.

Also, now that I see the actual diff, I see you only removed the
$PostgreSQL$ tag from ecpg_informix.h.  I assume this was unintended.

 We should not have individual copyrights to individuals in our source
 tree.  If Jan's is in there, it should be removed too (with his
 approval).  The only copyright holder should be PostgreSQL Global
 Development Group.

Why give all our code to a organisation that doesn't exist?

On the $PostgreSQL$ issue, I think it's best to have the tag everywhere,
so if these files were the only ones that had it, I'd rather add them to
the rest ...

+1. I'd also argue that it should be in contrib as well.

I can submit a patch for contrib or the entire tree if desired.
Convention is that it goes near the top of the file, correct?

 Correct.

K, I'll work on everything but contrib tonight.

What do people think about contrib? Yea or nay for enforcing
$PostgreSQL$?

It goes at the bottom of the file header block comment ... if there
isn't a block comment at the start of the file, there should be.  We
have a thousand or so examples to follow ;-)
