Accordingly, FSF copyright was added.

On legal advice from Matt Norwood, the following comment was added
|
||||
to these files in Feb 2007:
|
||||
|
||||
The code here is forced by the interface, and is not subject to
|
||||
copyright, constituting the only possible expression of the
|
||||
algorithm in this format.
|
||||
|
||||
With the addition of this notice, these files are OK for the
|
||||
upcoming Emacs-22 release. Post-release, we can revisit this issue
|
||||
and possibly add a list of all authors who have changed these files.
|
||||
(details in email from Matt Norwood to rms, 2007/02/03).

isc2-2.h, netbsd.h, osf1.h, sol2-3.h, sunos4-0.h, usg5-4-2.h
|
||||
- all these (not obviously trivial) files were missing copyrights
|
||||
till Feb 2007, when FSF copyright was added. Matt Norwood advised:
|
||||
|
||||
For now, I think the best policy is to assume that we do have
|
||||
assignments from the authors (I recall many of these header files
|
||||
as having been originally written by rms), and to attach an FSF
|
||||
copyright with GPL notice. We can amend this if and when we
|
||||
complete the code audit. Any additions to these files by
|
||||
non-assigned authors are arguably "de minimis" contributions to
|
||||
Emacs: small changes or suggestions to a work that are subsumed in
|
||||
the main authors' copyright in the entire work.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is my (rgm) take on the details of the above files:
|
||||
|
||||
mips4.h
|
||||
might be trivial? started trivial, been added to in tiny changes by
|
||||
those with FSF assignment, often result of email suggestions by others.
|
||||
|
||||
news-risc.h
|
||||
started trivial. Grown by tiny additions, plus chunk
|
||||
from mips.h, which was and is Copyright FSF
|
||||
|
||||
pmax.h
|
||||
started trivial. grown in tiny changes, except for maybe Jim Wilson's
|
||||
comment.
|
||||
|
||||
? irix4-0.h
|
||||
I would say started non-trivial (1992, rms). only tiny changes since
|
||||
installed.
|
||||
|
||||
? irix5-0.h
|
||||
I would say started non-trivial (1993, jimb, heavily based
|
||||
on irix4-0.h). A few borderline non-tiny changes since.
|
||||
|
||||
? isc2-2.h
|
||||
started trivial. 2 non-tiny change, in 1993. looks to
|
||||
be made up of several small tweaks from various sources. maybe
|
||||
non-tiny total changes from Karl Berry (no emacs assignment).
|
||||
|
||||
osf1.h
|
||||
started trivial. grown in tiny changes (one borderline tiny change
|
||||
by fx in 2000, but most code was later removed). non-tiny addition
|
||||
in 2002 from m/alpha.h, but that was and is copyright FSF.
|
||||
|
||||
usg5-4-2.h
|
||||
started non-trivial, but was heavily based on usg5-4.h, which was and is
|
||||
copyright FSF. only tiny changes since installed.
|
||||
|
||||
sol2-3.h
|
||||
started trivial. only non-tiny change (1994) incorporated code from
|
||||
usg5-4.h, which was and is copyright FSF.
|

||||
aix3-2.h, bsd386.h, hpux8.h, hpux9.h, netbsd.h, sunos4-0.h
