Also I would need the actual script you want to
be included at the top
of the file be it ours or has joint authors.
In case it is only us, use the same docblock as the one for the
cakePHP files, but replace all cakePHP stuff with phpMyAdmin.

(remove the since and package, because our fiels were not released as
part of cakePHP)
In case of modifications to a cakePHP file, add a copyright line for
phpMyAdmin and the following notice :
This file was originally released by cakePHP and modified by
phpMyAdmin. You can check the commit log for changes to this file.
I am also assuming that this is a low priority
task and would be done
in my down time since I donot think this is time sensitive. Once you
give me the actual copyright notice to include I will start adding
them to the necessary files as I go.
Also files that are created by Cakephp already have a copyright notice
should I remove it and replace it with ours that has both authors or
should I modify their copyright notice or should I place our copyright
notice after theirs.
See above.
Furthermore as for the issue of empty but
copyrighted files I have
here the original app controller file as supplied by cakephp [0] and
here the current state of the file [1]. should this file still be
under joint copyright. I think this is the only one which has changed
so radically but there are others that are empty but copyrighted
however I havent changed them yet
If you didn't change them, leave them as they are.
I would say that a file with only a class definition can hardly be
considered as copyrightable material, so I'm inclined to say to
replace the copyright notice with ours. But it doesn't hurt to just
add our copyright and the notice I mentioned above.
I hope this helps.
