No matter which one, but IMHO is putting a (c) on a header file
a Bad Thing(tm).

Sure, you'll need a licence to distribute it at all, but if
merely using the header file (which is just the API, written
in a compiler-parseable form) inflicts restriction on the
result, it's ridiculous. (Someone could just rewrite these
header files themselfes anyways.)
