Hm, I don't really understand what the issue is here. I've never seen
this "incorporated herein by reference" being used, but I guess it's
not better or worse than a single line such as
This code is distributed without warranty under the GPL v2 (see COPYING)
which we have in the code already, in a few places.
IMHO the clearest and most common header is the full 10-line or so
version I posted.
Disk space is cheap, cut'n'pasting is fast, so I don't see a reason to
not use it...
Uwe.
