Here is what one incarnation of the OFPL boilerplate looks like:
/* ***** BEGIN LICENSE BLOCK *****

* Version 1.1 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance

- is the name or description of the code
(e.g. Open Firewall Master Daemon).
- is the person or organization who holds copyright on the original code
(e.g. John Doe).
- should be the year(s) of copyright.
- should be a list of contributors to the file,
preferably one per line.
The preferred format of each line is Real Name <login@email.address>
So a filled out copy of the boilerplate text might look something like this:
/* ***** BEGIN LICENSE BLOCK *****
