[ts-gen] Code contributions, and license

[Bill Pippin]

An off-list poster sent me some tarballs of code.  I was delighted to receive
them, since this is, after all, a free software project.

Unfortunately, there was no license, not even a copyright notice, so I had
to send back a message indicating that I couldn't read the code; this
developer's effort was still inaccessible to me.  All I did was glance at
the top of a few files, see that it was code from the beginning, and stop.

We can't read your code until you put a GPL-compatable free software
license on it; GPL v3 or later is ideal.  If you want to do that, here's how
we do it; we put a license notice at the top of each of our files, using a
comment block that includes, in part, the following:

/*
 * author: Bill Pippin, <pippin at owlriver.com>
 * copyright (c) 2005-2007 Trading-shim.com, LLC  Columbus, OH
 * GPL version 3 or later, see COPYING for details
 */

Of course you would want to adapt the above by changing the author and
copyright lines as appropriate.  Then, include the GPL license file, named
as "COPYING", in the tarball as well.  The original is available from
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt .

Thanks,

Bill
