I agree with this, there have been more authors since 2010.

Regarding the license, it was my understanding that if somebody wants
anything but GPL-2.0 they should put it in the file when they create it.
 That's because even if Glauber had a different idea of what license to
use, other contributors to the file couldn't know.
