fileffmpeg.C exists in HV-8 and currently has GPL attribution. ffmpeg.C does NOT exist anywhere as far as I can tell, except for CinGG

To restate -- I am ONLY modifying programs that have no GPL license information.

yes, but ffmpeg.C was added by Bill in 2015 without license header but with commit message saying it was merge from CV ... and this file ultimately tied to fileffmpeg.C .... may be (c) Bill 2015-2020 but with line saying based on works of Monty and Paolo according to (links)? Please note that the Cinelerra-CV modified programs never took the time to

modify their GPL license information to add: * Copyright (C) 2003-2016 Cinelerra-CV contributors so I do not really see the need to add it to CinGG files that I am adding missing license to?????????

oversight, I guess .... I was suggesting adding this line to startup message and not to each file (tracking if there was mod by cv to specific file indeed time-consuming) startup message lives in cinelerra/versioninfo.h

So, it seems file was already present in CinHV 4.0 from around aug 2008

https://sourceforge.net/projects/heroines/files/releases/081108/cinelerra-4-...

same file present in 4.1

So I guess Monty only noticed it in 4.1 because 4.0 was "hiding" in 081108 folder.

this specific archive does not show exact date, but I guess 12 years ago will give us 2010 or so

sooo ... I think correct author lines will be 1) Adam's (c) 2008 2) Monty's (c) 2010 3) Paolo Rampino (2012-2014) 4) W.P.Morrow (2015-2020)

3) based on https://github.com/cinelerra-cv-team/cincv-exp-akirad-paolo/commits/master/c...

4) based on https://code.google.com/archive/p/cinelerra/source/default/commits?page=2 "Good1.2Guy 2015-02-20 11:21:11 -0700 bf3a568a7ce3 CV file codec mods + a few fixes "

bootstrap.c seems to be part of CinCV build system since initial commit in 2003:

https://github.com/cinelerra-cv-team/cinelerra-cv/commit/696d7a41ec6bc524738...

Because fileffmpeg.c/ffmpeg.C history is very convolved may be we should put 'evidence' links in header too? (because current CinHV fileffmpeg says 2016-2022 by Adam, I guess it was rewrite of 2008 code ..?)
