I should have left it out, since like I say, it was just for my own
purposes. As you can imagine I have a large number of scripts, and it's
helpful in retrospect to see when I wrote or last edited them, since
that may help understand what Scribus version they were written for.

I think you're assigning too much weight to someone stating '© Gregory
Pittman', since these days there are so many kinds of copyright, from
'all rights reserved' to full liberality. One of the reasons people
sometimes label something as copyrighted is so that someone else can't
claim rights on it.

In the end, in this situation, we're talking about a sequence of freely
available and open Python commands, both inside and outside of Scribus,
so what would one expect to be able to claim rights to?
