Re: [Classifier4j-devel] Classifier4J license

[Nick L. <ni...@ma...>]

Yes, you are right, I needed to add somethign like that. I've added it to
all the files.

I think I'd prefer to keep the copyright like that at the moment, so that if
someone wants something modified with it they only need to contact me,
rather than needing to contact each and every person who has done something
(like when Mozilla wanted to dual licence everything and had to try and find
all the authors).

I don't see somethign like that ever happening with this, though - I chose
the Apache licence so it would allow Classifier4J to be used in commercial
products as well as open sourced projects.

I'm think everyone should add their names in the @author JavaDoc tags,
though - I'll add yours to the files in your last patch.
