Ichthyostega 806db414dd Copyright: clarify and simplify the file headers
* Lumiera source code always was copyrighted by individual contributors
 * there is no entity "Lumiera.org" which holds any copyrights
 * Lumiera source code is provided under the GPL Version 2+

== Explanations ==
Lumiera as a whole is distributed under Copyleft, GNU General Public License Version 2 or above.
For this to become legally effective, the ''File COPYING in the root directory is sufficient.''

The licensing header in each file is not strictly necessary, yet considered good practice;
attaching a licence notice increases the likeliness that this information is retained
in case someone extracts individual code files. However, it is not by the presence of some
text, that legally binding licensing terms become effective; rather the fact matters that a
given piece of code was provably copyrighted and published under a license. Even reformatting
the code, renaming some variables or deleting parts of the code will not alter this legal
situation, but rather creates a derivative work, which is likewise covered by the GPL!

The most relevant information in the file header is the notice regarding the
time of the first individual copyright claim. By virtue of this initial copyright,
the first author is entitled to choose the terms of licensing. All further
modifications are permitted and covered by the License. The specific wording
or format of the copyright header is not legally relevant, as long as the
intention to publish under the GPL remains clear. The extended wording was
based on a recommendation by the FSF. It can be shortened, because the full terms
of the license are provided alongside the distribution, in the file COPYING.

/** @file configfacade.cpp
** Draft for a facade to access and retrieve configuration values
** This was created as part of a first draft towards an application
** wide configuration system. Later (around 2012) it became clear that
** we can not judge the requirements for such a system yet, so we deferred
** the topic altogether. Meanwhile, this facade is sporadically used to
** mark the necessity to retrieve some "parametrisation values".
**
** A preliminary implementation is backed by a `setup.ini` file,
** located relative to the application binary.
**
** @todo as of 2016, this seems not to be used much, if at all.
** The GTK-UI, which in itself is very preliminary, retrieves
** some values from configuration, most notably the name of
** the GTK stylesheet (`lumiera.css` is the default)
