[Cirilo Bernardo <cirilo.bernardo@xxxxxxxxx>]

As part of my work in progress on fixing UTF8 filename issues
under MinGW, I need to add 2 new files to the source tree:

streamwrapper.cpp
streamwrapper.h

I noticed that the copyright.h file has a GPL3+ template but the
coding-style-policy.md has a GPL2+ template.

I'm sure this has been discussed on the list in the past but
(a) I'm too lazy to look it up and (b) new developers wouldn't
have a clue.

Could we please ensure that the copyright.h contains the
license text that we want and that the docs are clear about
what license to use for new files?

I also noticed that quite a few files which I had contributed
still have me as the sole author of those files; if we're moving
to GPL3 I could exercise my rights as sole author to change
the license text to GPL3.

[OT] Where should I put these extra 'streamwrapper' files?
They are used by (a) the 3D cache's dynamic library, (b)
VRML exporter, and (c) static IDF library.
