Interesting question. I don't think -questions is the best forum for this question, so I'm following up to -chat for want of something more specific. > Copyright (c) %%proper_years_here%% > %%your_name_here%%, %%your_state%% %%your_zip%%.

I'd suggest you format it with roughly equal length lines: > THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY %%your_name_here%% ``AS IS'' AND ANY > EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE > IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR > PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT SHALL %%your_name_here%% BE > LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR > CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF > SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR > BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF > LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING > NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS > SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. My personal preference is also not to SHOUT, but maybe there are legal reasons in the USA why you must shout these paragraphs. Anyway, lots of people, myself included, have copied this license form.
