Yo David!

I think all we need is a clear statement in your code assigning your
copyright.

Here is what ESR has used:

* This code by ESR, Copyright (C) 2013, under BSD terms.

Here is what Chris Kuethe used:

Then I can grab gpsGetSatellites.c and put it in the gpsd contrib
directory.  It really demonstrates how easy it is to get data out of
gpsd into something else.  I find these little snippets really handy
wheen trying to get a handle on solving a problem.
