+Our Copyright Policy
+--------------------
+
+IPython uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright over
+their contributions to IPython. But, it is important to note that these
+contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the IPython
+source code, in its entirety is not the copyright of any single person or
+institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the entire IPython
+Development Team. If individual contributors want to maintain a record of what
+changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they should indicate their
+copyright in the commit message of the change, when they commit the change to
+one of the IPython repositories.
+
+With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file to 
+indicate the copyright and license terms:
+
