The way I edited the files is, I added
//  Copyright (C) 1999-2011 by Werner Schweer and others
to those files which didn't have any specific copyright owner.
For those that already had at least 1 owner, I didn't add any other
copyright information, except a couple files where I did major
editing.

Yes, at least that much of an information is good. Much better than no
information.
It would be cool if we added a little more detail, but this I leave to
the developers.
Should we make a policy? I don't want this to be an overkill.

Yes, please! Everyone, please add your information into those files
that you made significant contributions.

Thank you,
