From 6fb55451728e6dc74ae4e67e4f5ab557468f084e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Blake Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 09:04:58 -0600 Subject: qapi: Add copyright declaration on docs While our top-level COPYING with its GPLv2+ license applies to any documentation file that omits explicit instructions, these days it's better to be a good example of calling out our intentions. Correct use of GPL requires the use of a copyright statement, so I'm adding notice to two QAPI documents, by attributing these files to the initial authors and major contributors. I used: $ git blame --line-porcelain $file \ | sed -n 's/^author //p' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn to determine authorship of these two files. qmp-spec.txt blames entirely to Red Hat (easy, since my contribution falls in that category); while qapi-code-gen.txt has multiple contributors representing multiple entities. But since it was originally supplied by Michael Roth, the notice I added there copies the notice he has used in other files. As there is no intended change in license from the implicit one previously present from the top level, I have not bothered to CC other contributors; if we want to weaken things to something looser (such as LGPL) so that there is no question that someone re-implementing the spec is not forced to use GPL, that would be a different commit.
