You can find the "standard" copyright etc. at the top of most files (e.g.,
see common/astring.[hc]).

If anyone knows better, please correct me, but I believe the important
things are: 1. Somebody hold the copyright; 2. That person grants rights
under terms of the GNU GPL ver. 2 or later; 3. A disclaimer of warranty or
fitness for any purpose.

You'll see that the "standard" header includes these three things.

(When I create a new file, I usually just copy the "standard" header
verbatim.)
