[parisc-linux] audit for copyright/license

[Joel Soete]

Hi Grant,

May I propose the following generic template:
/*
 *    Linux/PA-RISC Project (http://www.parisc-linux.org/)
 *    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

 USA
 */

(replacing year and author's references if available)

Btw, I notice that 'FSF' address should also be updated into asm/parisc/math-emu
files?

hth,
    Joel

We need to determine which files have:
a) no copyright
b) a non standard copyright
c) no license
d) a non standard license

You have time to prepare a patch for (b) and (d)?

If someone prepared a precise list of (a) and (c) I could start determining
who owns (a) for each file and add the appropriate copyright.
I or willy could ask for (c) get formal permission to use GPL if it's not
part of the cu

thanks,
