I removed this as I checked some other README files and none contained 
copyright clauses.

Changed to: Copyright (c) 2009 Red Hat, Inc.

hmm that content is all GFDL license, anyone know if I need to specify 
this per file or can I do it in one place?

Maybe we should rewrite this file?

Deleted.

Changed all to:
  	Copyright (c) 2007-2009 Red Hat, Inc.
	License: GPLv2+ or Artistic

Anyone know if I can remove the license from these as they are under the 
same license as the package itself?
