Off topic, but I am curious how these copyright notices are supposed to work in the first place. From what I have seen, the person who creates the file normally adds one for themselves/their employer. But then other contributors who make small/medium changes don't add theirs, even though they should hold the copyright for the code they added. Bigger refactors sometimes add a notice but that isn't done consistently either. So do these notices even hold any value? They certainly don't list all the entities who hold the copyright to the code in the file. Only git log can tell you that. Is there even any point in adding them? [...] -- Regards, Pratyush Yadav
