The header must ensure a clean behavior and a clean pointback to the project/company.

Requirements

  • Give compact Credit to the original designer / copyright holder
  • Give credits to the company which has sponsored the work.
  • Avoid credits for small informations
    • e.g.: Mr x for mentioning the sys.path.append function
