Re: [ros-dev] Reformat to the kernel coding style.

[chris evans]

Pasting gpl notices in every file of a project, 
takes up space. better to put in license.txt  in project root
to encompass all source files. but most that don't like a license 
will refuse to use it and just copy paste the code anyways, and 
not say where they got it. (happens all the time).  kinda makes 
me wonder why we got licenses for software in the first place, 
seems to be silly constructs of obstructionism.

GPLv3 don't allow you to control the software
that runs 
on the custom hardware, inability to link to the code with out 
upsetting the original author.
