Duo, Great idea about using the issue. I put a link to the wiki page there.
Justin, Regarding getting the copyright owner's permission, it sounds like we need to add a step in the license clearing process <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/License+Clearing> to find out where the file came from– was it written by the author, or was it contributed from somewhere else? If that's the case, we should initially only work to change the headers of files actually written by the authors. -adam On Thu, Jul 23, 2020 at 11:49 PM 张铎(Duo Zhang) <palomino...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think we could use this issue > > https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/issues/128 > > To track the progress.
