Ehm...
This notice was not added by the googlecode site :)
I am google employee and hence the results of my work are *copyrighted* by
google.
But, they are *licensed* under BSD license which means that anyone is free
to do whatever he/she likes with these files except for removal of copyright
notice. Few files from valgrind (e.g. valgrind.h, helgrind.h) are also
published under BSD.

If/when I create helgrind's fork on code.google.com it will be under GPL (I
am not allowed nor willing to break it :) )
