Which version of Cantata? 1.4.1

https://code.google.com/p/cantata/source/diff?spec=svn5294&old=4885&r=5177&forma
t=unidiff&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fgui%2Fcachesettings.cpp

In this release, the copyright on gui/cachesettings.{cpp,h} was changed to 
remove the older information about this file coming from the clementine project 
and a copyright holder was deleted. The licence of the files was also changed 
from GPLv3+ to GPLv2+. 

The current file is still quite similar to the very first time it was checked 
into subversion and would clearly still be a derivative work -- but I can't 
actually find this file or anything like it in clementine's git in any case.

Was the original attribution to clementine incorrect?

cheers
Stuart

The file was written by me - its 100% Cantata specific! The '(c)' header was a 
cut'n'paste error. Throughout the code, wherever I have taken code from 
elsewhere the original '(c)' is left intact.

No, the code does not originate from any other project.
