But what I learned is: You need to state the copyright-holders of each
file in the file. Otherwise it definitely gets lost (it can still "get
lost" but that leads to legal action). And you should state the license.
Hmmm... I suggest you to find another lawyers, seriously!!! please do!
Well, I kind of got a new lawyer. As I said I am still working on the same
(university) project writing the same code, but before I was paid by an
external research institute (who collaborate with the university on this
project) and he had so many things he wanted to check, that I waited until I
wasn't paid by them anymore but by the university itself. And then my Prof.
(the project-leader) and I decided to make the software open source las we
had intended from the very beginning...
And the source-files state the project with its collaborationists as
copyright-holder, the names of the people working on it and a clear statement
that its licensed under (L)GPLv3 and the license-text is in the tarball.
Should be okay...
Have fun,
Arnold
