It is a long overdue janitorial task to remove all the per-file copyright headers, adding more won't help ;)
Huh, did I miss something? From what I know, it is highly recommended to have a copyright/license notice in every single file.
You cannot remove the license headers. This would be a violation of the law and make tracking the changes even harder. The only thing we can do is standardise on the headers we use.
Thanks Steven
Hi Steven,
Did I miss something? You and I are the original two people that worked on this idea and generated the standard ReactOS header, after which I asked someone to replace it all over the ntoskrnl and other places except wine-libs (he gave up after the kernel though). At the time you clearly indicated that having COPYRIGHT: See COPYING file in top-level directory. and PROGRAMMERS: Foo, Bar, Bez
was sufficient and would make standard headers easier and significantly reduce disk/bandwidth costs.
Best regards, Alex Ionescu
