I think if you copy code from a file, then you should retain the copyright notice(s) for that file. Regarding the BSD template, in EDK II, most files do not include that text directly: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tianocore/edk2/master/MdePkg/MdePkg.dsc However, we do in the the License.txt file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tianocore/edk2/master/MdePkg/License.txt Where it appears we have Intel listed. For another viewpoint, the nasm project uses "the NASM Authors" http://repo.or.cz/w/nasm.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/LICENSE -Jordan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
