Re: Putting version information, description, copright into modules

[Oliver Kroth <oliver.kroth@...>]

Marc,

I always put the _VERSION and _COPYRIGHT in, mostly also the 
_DESCRIPTION at my work.
_VERSION is important as some add-on script require a minimum version to 
work correctly.
_COPYRIGHT is relevant for legal reasons.
_DESCRIPTION is nice for documentation.
