I feel similarly to IgorBeg. Without going into too much detail about Open licensing, so as not to drive Phyllis crazy making she to pursue rare data lost in the menadirs of time, I would just leave a general Authors window for all the code, without having to put them in every file header.
thing is, file WITHOUT such header probably can cause misunderstanding (at best) down the line .... (not to mention distant possibility of court action by some wanna-be Microsoft/Apple) so I think best course of action still fix most glaring omissions when possible, and then add details as we found them.
For example, I would say that CinGG uses code from multiple versions of Cin and also from external programs. For code derived from CinHV I would put a link to the CinHV page; I would do the same for CinCV (maybe it is better to ask Igor Vladimirsky, on which page to link) and CinCVE (Einar). Instead, the original contributors to CinGG can be made explicit clearly in this same authors window.
In any case, the most competent person to ask is definitely Igor Vladimirsky, especially for Cin HV; CV and CVE.
Finally I would hear suggestions from the various contributors to CinGG, for the best method by which to be cited; whether in each headers of their code or in general without going into detail. -- Cin mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin
