I have yet another question, hopefully the last one.
I took a look at the license headers in the arduino library... none all of them have one, but the ones who do have something like that:
- Code: Select all
/*
Printable.h - Interface class that allows printing of complex types

What I don't understand is that there is a copyright while it's released under LGPL, which is copyleft. I searched on Internet but didn't find the answer... what's the purpose of the copyright?
By the way if I add a header like this one to each file in the Gamebuino library, I can't only put my name as other people did improvement to that code. What am I supposed to do?
