File Headers
To make things look uniform here's the headers we use for sourcefiles.
It makes it "prettier" as it's applied to any of the sourcefiles (source and headers) , giving us a template licensing-style that we stick to (or at least keeping in the same style licensewise).
XXXX = startyear
YYYY = active year

Please note that if several parties are involved in the creation of a file, you WILL need to expand the copyright headers accordingly.
Thank you for using these headers when you add new files/modify already existing files!
