[scribus] First Line Offset

greg said that it means nothing...
his explicit will counts... but...

...but to me the (c) means that the script is
copyrighted and you're not allowed to copy, modify, or distribute it
without a further explicit agreement from the copyright holder (greg).

of course, if there were no (c) sign, you would have exactly the same
(absence) of rights: you are not allowed to copy, change, distribute
anything you find in the internet, except when the author explicitly
gives you the rights to do anything with it.

so, greg, i would suggest you to add a little world after that (c), one
that match your will.

if you want everybody to be able to do anything they want with the
script you can write:

(c) bsd 2018 by GP

or

(c) mit 2018 by GP

if you want people to be forced to further share the changes they are
doing you can add

(c) gpl 2018 by GP

of course you can use longer names for those licenses and / or add links
to the full license text to be even more explicit.

but, at least, you should put the abbreviation after the copyright sign
to tell the people that the default copyright rules do not apply to the
script.

btw, i would suggest you to use the bsd or mit licenses, since not
everybody is comfortable with the gpl. but it's up to you.

ciao

(and, since we're talking about the header of the script, please, remove
that "#!/usr/bin/env python" from the first line of the script: that
line means that one can run the script as a standalone program, and
this is not the case: one has to run it from inside of scribus.)
