patacongo commented on issue #528: sched/mqueue: Correct/update license headers. URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/pull/528#issuecomment-597376544 @justinmclean > I’m not sure this a valid assumption, it is for BSD files copyright Gregory Nutt but for for 3rd party files with a single copyright please do not change these. Think this is a valid assumption for the set of files under consideration. These are not third party files, these are files developed specifically for NuttX and clone the standard NuttX BSD-3 header. > Sony and Pinecone have not submitted SGAs and their headers should not be changed. You can’t remove 3rd party headers without documented permission. I guess I need to understand what you mean by 3rd party in this case. In the case of these files, there is no 3rd party project. These were developed for NuttX and have existed only in the NuttX source tree and no where else (may not be true of some Sony files). The authors of the NuttX code simply chose to put their companies name in the copyright. And in this case, the headers would be changed by the same person that authored the files and who put the original company copyrights in the headers (with the permission of their company). Does that change your opinion? Certainly it would be good to get an SGA but that would likely takes months in the company legal offices. If we need SGA's we should get the process moving. But perhaps we don't need them for these files? What say ye.
