Copyright and license

[hueniverse]

I noticed a few people are extending the copyright statements time period. If you are doing that, please don't extend it for entities no longer contributing to the project. For example Walmart is no longer involved in the majority of modules which are maintained by other people. Instead of just editing the years, please add another line and move Walmart (or whoever) down a line.

For example:

Copyright (c) 2012-2014, Walmart and other contributors.

Should be changed to:

Copyright (c) 2012-2015, Project contributors.
Copyright (c) 2012-2014, Walmart.

If you want (or need) your own (or your company's) contribution explicitly acknowledged and you are the lead maintainer:

Copyright (c) 2012-2015, [your name here] and other contributors.
Copyright (c) 2012-2014, Walmart.

If someone else contributes and requests a copyright mention, you can add them in order of the most recent contribution after the first line which is the lead maintainer + catchall:

Copyright (c) 2012-2015, [your name here] and other contributors.
Copyright (c) 2015, [contributor name].
Copyright (c) 2012-2014, Walmart.

(someone should probably move this into a markdown document)
