[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/8] [RFC] vmstate: Add copyrights for all cpus

[Juan Quintela]

Hi

[ Resnd this time also ading fabrice address, sorry ]

v2:
- split patches by file, make easier to add "acked-by" notices.
- cc'd fabrice
- everybody (except for Thiemo for ovbious reasons) answered.
- move ppc/sparc/i386 to BSD like license from vl.c at Blue
  suggestion. 

- move all other licenses to GPL v2 or later (notice that I had forget
  the later part on the 1st submission).  Notice this change for the
  people that acked previous version.

Any other comments?

v1:

This patch adds copyrights to all the machine description files for
all architectures supported. (this is done on top of my vmstate-cpus
series patches) The problem?

- What should we put as "copyirght" owners.

Althought I modified almost every line of the files, mostly of the
changes are a conversion, so claiming myself as the only "copyright"
owner sounds at least pretentious, and more than probably false.

I tried to "dig" into the git logs and tried to came with "whoever"
commit the initial cpu_save/load foar each architecture.  I have put
them as:

 * Based on qemu-file support done by:
 *   Richard Henderson <address@hidden>

But I would preffer that the persons involved state what copyright
notice they want, name, address, year(s), etc.  (Some architectures
already have a propper copyright notice, I didn't touch them), and
others had an empty file (I put mine there on the previosu series).

Several of the logs are from the svn days, and then I don't know if
the person was the committer, or the author.  If anyone contributed
to the functionality and want to add its copyright, please told me.

To make things more complicated, when machine.c files were split from
vl.c, they didn't carry any copyright notice at all, should we copy
back everything from vl.c?

To make things more complicated, it looks like Thiemo Seufer did the
original mips support, and he passed away.  So he can't obviously
comment.

Anthony asked me to send a patch to the list, asking form comments.

alpha:
CC: Richard Henderson <address@hidden>

arm:
CC: Andrzej Zaborowski <address@hidden>

  (it appears as balrog, but on irc channel peter told me that balrog
  has him)

cris:
CC: Edgar E. Iglesias <address@hidden>

i386:

Fabrice Bellard?

 * Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

Didn't cc'd him because he left project/didn't have email address on
MAINTAINERS/vl.c.  If you think that I should cc'd to him, just let me
know.

lm32:

CC: Michael Walle <address@hidden>

mips:

Thiemo Seufer?

ppc & sparc:

CC: Blue Swirl <address@hidden>


What do you think, what should we do?  Juan.
