Iglesias" , Richard Henderson Hi [ Resnd this time also ading fabrice address, sorry ] v2: - split patches by file, make easier to add "acked-by" notices. - cc'd fabrice - everybody (except for Thiemo for ovbious reasons) answered. - move ppc/sparc/i386 to BSD like license from vl.c at Blue suggestion. - move all other licenses to GPL v2 or later (notice that I had forget the later part on the 1st submission). Notice this change for the people that acked previous version. Any other comments? v1: This patch adds copyrights to all the machine description files for all architectures supported. (this is done on top of my vmstate-cpus series patches) The problem? - What should we put as "copyirght" owners. Althought I modified almost every line of the files, mostly of the changes are a conversion, so claiming myself as the only "copyright" owner sounds at least pretentious, and more than probably false. I tried to "dig" into the git logs and tried to came with "whoever" commit the initial cpu_save/load foar each architecture. I have put them as: * Based on qemu-file support done by: * Richard Henderson But I would preffer that the persons involved state what copyright notice they want, name, address, year(s), etc. (Some architectures already have a propper copyright notice, I didn't touch them), and others had an empty file (I put mine there on the previosu series). Several of the logs are from the svn days, and then I don't know if the person was the committer, or the author. If anyone contributed to the functionality and want to add its copyright, please told me. To make things more complicated, when machine.c files were split from vl.c, they didn't carry any copyright notice at all, should we copy back everything from vl.c? To make things more complicated, it looks like Thiemo Seufer did the original mips support, and he passed away. So he can't obviously comment. Anthony asked me to send a patch to the list, asking form comments. alpha: CC: Richard Henderson arm: CC: Andrzej Zaborowski (it appears as balrog, but on irc channel peter told me that balrog has him) cris: CC: Edgar E. Iglesias i386: Fabrice Bellard? * Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard Didn't cc'd him because he left project/didn't have email address on MAINTAINERS/vl.c. If you think that I should cc'd to him, just let me know. lm32: CC: Michael Walle mips: Thiemo Seufer? ppc & sparc: CC: Blue Swirl What do you think, what should we do?
