It is a very trivial, but very time consuming task to document the copyright holders. $ find . -name '*.cpp' | wc --lines 923 $ find . -name '*.h' | wc --lines 1001 find all the well formed copyright holder headers: $ grep -rhi Copyright * | grep "@"| sed 's/\*//g;s/#//g;s,/,,g;s/ //g;s/^ //' | sort -u | wc --lines 444 and then there is all the not well formed ones who needs to be manually found, and ordered into a copyright file of any format. And this is just looking at one of my source packages. Trying to take another example, a bit bigger, but one who until now get special treatment by ftp team copyright file wise: linux-2.6-2.6.28$ find . -name '*.h' | wc --lines 9654 $ find . -name '*.c' | wc --lines 10807 $ grep -rhi Copyright * | grep "@"| sed 's/\*//g;s/#//g;s,/,,g;s/ //g;s/^ //' | sort -u | wc --lines 3066 "not any time at all" ... /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
