Krzysztof,

FYI here is the guidance I received from Qualcomm legal (links to internal
documentation, removed -- I've forwarded the entire e-mail to your Qualcomm
mailbox):

... Repos under copyleft license [...] QTI copyright must be added when we
make significant changes.

... Repos under friendly license (BSD, Apache, MIT, ...) [...] QTI copyright
must be added for any changes, not just significant ones.

... under the regular QUIC to QTI open-source copyright transitioning [...]
all QUIC Copyright instances should be replaced with year-less QTI OSS Copyright.

I'll follow up with them on this case where there is a dual-license file.
