Hi,

As a rule of thumb, each time your change is non-trivial =E2=80=93 say more=
 than
5 modified or new lines in one specific file =E2=80=93 it deserves a Copyri=
ght
header on that specific file.  Note that deleting only does not count,
i.e., Copyright does not apply

In the past, the project had been very permissive, where even 2 lines
only modifying the version and checksum fields lead to hold a Copyright
on such modification.  Now, it should be avoided, IMHO.

Cheers,
