[wp-hackers] beating a dead horse

[Carthik Sharma]

Mike did say that wordpress should add the headers to all the files,
and perhaps "wordpress" should be the copyright owner, but the changes
have not been made, nor has a decision on whether to make the changes
or not, which is why I aassumed that the matter was not a closed
chapter. As you the tool grows in popularity, it is bound to come
under the microscope, and this is one thing that could look bad,
potentially, which is why I brought it up.

My apologies if I shouldn't have :)

Carthik.
