https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/file-format/index.html Under ebuild header. This is a Gentoo policy. Repoman will complain if you violate this. It will get noticed and treecleaned if you ignore repoman. Devs who violate the policy will be warned, etc. The policy could be changed, and there have been discussions around improvements: https://dev.gentoo.org/~rich0/copyrightpolicy.xml The main issue I'm aware of with that draft is that it is painful to track who has copyright on what to put the proper copyright notice on each file. Suggestions are welcome. -- Rich
