And most of libempathy.

Files without copyright/author information which should be updated include:

- libempathy/empathy-chatroom.[ch]
- libempathy/empathy-log-manager.[ch]
- libempathy-gtk/empathy-account-widget-jabber.[ch]
- libempathy-gtk/empathy-account-widget-msn.[ch]
- libempathy-gtk/empathy-main-window.c
- libempathy-gtk/empathy-spell-dialog.c
  (just my name and Richard's name is missing)

Currently there are 22 files which either have or should have my/Gossip
copyright information in libempathy alone. There are 43 source files. So
half of libempathy is not copyright to you to re-license.
