Copyright (c) 2016 Martin Dougiamas probably wrong

[danpoltawski]

84536a8 introduced two conflicting copyright statements, the license file says:

Copyright (c) 2016 Martin Dougiamas

The inline docs say:

@copyright 2016 Frédéric Massart

I would say that the license file should be updated to the same (or Moodle HQ, but we tend to avoid organisational copyright statements in the past)

The idea was that Martin was the copyright holder of the license, just like in Moodle and Moodle Mobile. The file was created by me, hence my name, just like in Moodle.

IANAL and don't really want to get into the weeds with my complete ignorance of the subject so this can probably be closed, given it was intentional.

(In Moodle I see Martin as the original author of the whole package, and then intentional distribution of copyright amongst many authors following that. In this case I could see it assigned to Moodle Pty, but anyway thats getting into internal policy and so on)

My only comment is that if this has a chance to be in Moodle core then
please use GPL v3.
