Huh, I thought what he actually told was that the file was released
under BSD license. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see him asking to
remove the copyright.

We certainly have copyrights attributed to individual people. Jan Wieck
has his name on the PL/Tcl and PL/pgSQL files, for example.

Also, now that I see the actual diff, I see you only removed the
$PostgreSQL$ tag from ecpg_informix.h. I assume this was unintended.

We should not have individual copyrights to individuals in our source
tree. If Jan's is in there, it should be removed too (with his
approval). The only copyright holder should be PostgreSQL Global
Development Group.

Jan, would you fix that?

Intended. None of the other include files in that directory had it.
Either all should, or none. Should we add it to all of them?

All. There's no good excuse for not having a version tag on every
source-code file. The contrib stuff is pretty bad about this, but
hey, it's just contrib ;-). ecpg is part of the main tree and it
ought to be up to project standards.

Why give all our code to a organisation that doesn't exist?

On the $PostgreSQL$ issue, I think it's best to have the tag everywhere,
so if these files were the only ones that had it, I'd rather add them to
the rest ...

+1. I'd also argue that it should be in contrib as well.

I can submit a patch for contrib or the entire tree if desired.
Convention is that it goes near the top of the file, correct?

K, I'll work on everything but contrib tonight.

What do people think about contrib? Yea or nay for enforcing
$PostgreSQL$?

Any code in our source tree should conform to the same version tagging, so
Yah ...
