The copyright and license notice is already in the LICENSE file. There
is no justifiable reason to also require that it be included in every
file, since the individual files are not individually distributed except
as part of the entire package.
Now that we are building with C++11 features enabled, replace use
of NULL with nullptr.
The benefit of using nullptr is that it can never be confused for
an integral type because it does not support implicit conversions
to integral types except boolean - unlike NULL, which is defined
as a literal `0`.
