Thanks for the reply, Alexander, but if _all_ the source files in the
bundle have no copyright statement or "statement of usage", but the
bundle does have an included license.txt (GPL) and the project
homepage claims that the product is released under the GPL, is the
product under GPL (since none of the source code is?) Where does that
leave me, I mean, Can I put a copyright on the source and say it's
mine, or violate GPL for this product?

Interesting example :)

Thanks again,
Carthik.
