looks like BSD license. you can add your info to the original as - modified by you, your additions copyright to you. Actually most BSD licenses normally do not pollute the code - it is enough to put the license in a separate file in the root of the project. There is usually a credits file and an authors file where additional copyright and credit info is given. Otherwise the licensing details will soon spread over several pages and you will have to do a lot of scrolling to even find the code. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com Coimbatore LUG rox http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
