Hi
A couple of weeks ago, I decided that we should have permission from
enough submitters to attempt to do bulk conversions to BSD-2 license in the
headers. I did a fair amount of the cpukit as you all may have noticed.
This led to some discoveries:
(1) There are still more people to get permission from. I hunted two down
and got permission and have one pending management permission. PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE give permission if you have not already done so!!! If you
know someone who needs to, please ask them. All that is required is
granting permission on this ticket (https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3053).
If they just want to send an email to myself, Chris, and Gedare, I'm happy
to put a PDF of the email on the ticket. Let's get through this.
(2) There is a LOT of inconsistency in the file headers. I did some work on
some of these issues and Christian is following up. He will post patches
for that next week.
Please please do what you can to help us push this forward. I'd like to
have it done before 6 branches. Permission is important.
I'll try to provide more detail on file counts in future status reports.
