(INAL, but> I have covered UK copyright law) And shall I list all people who have done something on it or rather only the maintainer. Let me guess, I should list them all at least somewhere in the file with change, date etc. I guess it'll be enough to just set it 2003,2004 and leave Jarno as sole person, I did only marginal changes anyway and don't care about my copyright as long as the files are GPL.
Umm, thats a very good question, which is probably also relevant for Pingus as well. This is why the GNU project gets copyright assignments from everyone who works for them - a way of avoiding mentioning authors. You should be ok as long as the person listed has done a reasonable chunk of the work, as then they have enough copyright on it to persue abusers. For this level comment thing Jarno is probably good enough.
