Although the "All Rights Reserved" bit is supposedly implied by other
matters, it should be under GPLv2+ (2 or higher at discretion of user)
per README.  Files not under GPLv2+ should mention LGPL* (which I
think there are none) or have a short license in the file like the MIT
in com32/LICENSE.  This should only be notation of a change of the
copyright holder, not license.
