If you are going to attribute and copyright (a good idea), please add at |
11 |
least some indication of licensing terms as well. GPL (2? 2+?), BSD, |
12 |
whatever, including a link to the standard license where appropriate. |
13 |
|
14 |
If you don't, it puts anyone using it in potential legal difficulty. Not |
15 |
that you'd bother or that it'd be more than trivial for something like |
16 |
this anyway, but if it's worth putting the copyright and attribution line |
17 |
in there, it's worth a license line as well, just to cover the legal bases. |

You may also wish to include a contact link, email or web site |
20 |
(presumably with contact info thereon) or the like. After all, anyone |
21 |
caring about the copyright or author probably has a reason they are |
22 |
caring, which may well include a desire to get in contact with you, either |
23 |
to comment, or to ask for further permissions. |
