For those who might consider helping out with changing all those license+copyright omissions I'm attaching the shell script I use for that task. It doesn't have much testing other than it runs in the very basic Bourne shell of OpenBSD. So it should work on just about all Unix variants and other like the MSYS/MinGW shell or Cygwin as long as some usual commands are available (grep, sed, sort, read, cvs, vi). What it does: * It looks up the history in CVS and construct a copyright statement based on the edits. * The names it puts in reflect those in the SF users list plus those in the blanket permissions list. * For people that aren't in the blanket permissions, instead of the name it puts in "** /sf-user-name/ **" to indicate the copyright is not safe to leave as is. * It runs "vi" to give one a chance to clean up the edited file. People have their favorite editors so change that as you prefer. Enjoy. And thanks in advance for the *LC* changes :-) -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo #!/bin/sh # Copyright 2006 Rene Rivera # Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0. # (See accompanying file LICENSE_1_0.txt or http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt) function lookup_author { case $1 in #~ aaron_windsor ) echo "Aaron Windsor" ;; agurtovoy) echo "Aleksey Gurtovoy" ;; #~ alnsn) echo "Alexander Nasonov" ;; #~ aliazarbayejani) echo "Ali Azarbayejani" ;; #~ alisdairm27386) echo "Alisdair Meredith" ;; #~ alkise) echo "Alkis Evlogimenos" ;; #~ andreas_huber69) echo "Andreas Huber" ;; #~ diemumiee) echo "Andreas Pokorny" ;; #~ nimnul) echo "Andrey Melnikov" ;; anthony) echo "Anthony Williams" ;; #~ vertleyb) echo "Arkadiy Vertleyb" ;; beman_dawes) echo "Beman Dawes" ;; #~ wom-work) echo "Ben Hutchings" ;; #~ bjorn_karlsson) echo "Bjorn Karlsson" ;; #~ brett_calcott) echo "Brett Calcott" ;; nicoddemus) echo "Bruno da Silva de Oliveira" ;; #~ cepstein) echo "Caleb Epstein" ;; #~ cpdaniel) echo "Carl Daniel" ;; #~ carlos_p_coelho) echo "Carlos Pinto Coelho" ;; #~ cmb537) echo "cbarrron" ;; #~ chris_kohlhoff) echo "Chris Kohlhoff" ;; #~ cslittle) echo "Chris Little" ;; #~ cgc) echo "Christopher Currie" ;; #~ dan_marsden) echo "Dan Marsden" ;; nuffer) echo "Dan Nuffer" ;; #~ daniel_egloff) echo "Daniel Egloff" ;; dfrey42) echo "Daniel Frey" ;; #~ danieljames) echo "Daniel James" ;; #~ daniel_wallin) echo "Daniel Wallin" ;; dlwalker) echo "Daryle L.
