### Copyright
The copyright block must be the first section of the test. The copyright block must use `//` style comments.
The copyright block should be the first section of the test. The copyright block must use `//` style comments.
The copyright should follow this format:
```js
// Copyright (C) $Year $ContributorName. All rights reserved.
// This code is governed by the BSD license found in the LICENSE file.
```
Where
- `$Year` must be a 4 digit single year. It should not be an year range. If it's extremely necessary to add multiple years, repeat line for each year.
- `$ContributorName` must be a legal (natural or juridical) person's name.
The code must be a BSD or BSD-style compatible with the license of this project. Therefore, the line following the year and name parts should be written as in the example above.
