Global changes
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The goal of the changes below to consistently format copyright
|
|
and license information in the comments in the page source
|
|
at the top of each page. This allows for easy scripting to
|
|
extract that information. Following these changes the comments
|
|
the top of the page source should now consistently have the form:
|
|
|
|
.\" <copyright info, possibly spread over several lines>
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\" %%%LICENSE_START(<license-type>)
|
|
.\" <license text>
|
|
.\" %%%LICENSE_END
|
|
.\" <other comments>
|
|
|
|
Note that the 'license-type' is merely descriptive. Its purpose is
|
|
to simplify scripting for the purpose of gathering statistics on
|
|
types of licenses used in man-pages. It is NOT a statement about
|
|
the actual licensing of the page; that license is contain INSIDE the
|
|
LICENSE_START...LICENSE_END clause.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All pages
|
|
Michael Kerrisk
|
|
Add a LICENSE_START()...LICENSE_END clause in source at
|
|
top of each page that encapsulates the license text.

remove it from all pages
