The QGIS "python/plugins/processing/tools/raster.py" module contains the invertGeoTransform function which was ported to python by me directly from the GDAL gdaltransformer.cpp C++ source code http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/alg/gdaltransformer.cpp

When I provided this code to Alexander Bruy on the GDAL-dev mailing list in 2010 (http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/gdal-dev-Real-and-quot-raster-quot-coordinates-td3749761.html) I ensured it included the GDAL MIT/X license and copyright notice.

However, the GDAL MIT/X license text has been removed from the code in the QGIS repo - https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/plugins/processing/tools/raster.py#L98

You must include the GDAL copyright notice as required by the MIT/X license. I have included a suggestion below.
