Should the attribution really still be to Nicira?
Moving a file doesn't change the copyright holder (otherwise, all those people out there sharing music and movies would own the copyrights to the copies!). Whoever had copyright before still does, and from the same years. If the person who moved it made changes to it and wishes to assert copyright on those changes, then adding a new copyright license (or updating the existing one, if the person is already listed) is appropriate. Similarly, notices on a file being split in two would be copied into both parts. I suppose a case could be made for copying only some notices, if it were possible to identify that some copyright holder had only contributed to some part of the original. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
