Usually when making a new file, people copy some random other file to get the copyright header comments. Unfortunately, some of them are commented in a decades-old style, are word wrapped poorly, or worse, have a few subtle variations in the text. While we've tried to clean those up, we're not going to get every copy to be perfect.
Instead, this commit adds docs/copyright.c, which contains a copy of the license header which is well-formatted and has the correct text. The idea is that you can start from this when making a new file, which should help with consistency. --- docs/copyright.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/copyright.c Hey all, I noticed when writing my new Iris driver that I had a couple subtle variations of copyright headers creep in, even in a brand new project. Mostly word wrapping differences. To combat that, I made a copyright.c and made sure to use it when I created new files. It seemed to help. So, the thinking is to just actually put that in the project under docs. Maybe it helps other people as well? --Ken diff --git a/docs/copyright.c b/docs/copyright.c new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..db92f27e641 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/copyright.c @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +/* + * Copyright © 2018 <Insert Name Here> + * + * Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a + * copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), + * to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation + * the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, + * and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the + * Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: + * + * The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included + * in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. + * + * THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS + * OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, + * FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
