Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC] remove redundant file header note
Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2017 14:51:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170821135103.22631-1-ferruh.yigit@intel.com> (raw)
Some of the "All rights reserved." note looks like duplicate, there is
one for each copyright note in the same line, and extra one after the
copyright notes. Sample is in below patch.
Although this looks like a duplication, I am not sure if this is a legal
requirement, or legally has a meaning.
And this usage keep increasing when a new file created, because header copied
from an old file..
If there is no objection I can send a patch to clean them, there are
some number of them now:
$ git grep "[*#]\s*All rights reserved." | wc -l
1373
