A trivial question - is there a reason why the copyright is *only* with Intel.
I would have expected the authors to *also* claim copyright.
Is this deliberate?
Yes. Intel owns any code I write for them. I have no legal standing to assert a personal copyright on the code, which is why I don't put my name in the banner. I suppose that eventually the banners of individual files may need to be ammended to include authors of community contributions. We want people to contribute, the banner is just a legal requirement for licensing the code. I had to negotiate with the lawyers about how to word the banner and it was remarkably hard to make them happy considering how little the thing says.
(This would also make clear who the authors are - for each and every file).
As it is currently I am the sole author of every file, so that should be clear enough. Thanks, Luke
