Hello list,
related to Dimitri's sresolv patch, some notes on copyrights and
patches in Sofia-SIP.
To keep the list of copyright holders up-to-date, it is best to make the
changes at the same time as patches are merged. Thus, when creating
patches that add new code, significant refactoring, etc, remember to add
yourself (or the company name when appropriate) to the list of copyright
holders (at the top of each and every sourcecode file).
Let's take the patched sres.c as an example:
--cut--
* This file is part of the Sofia-SIP package
*
* Copyright (C) 2006 Nokia Corporation.
* Copyright (C) 2006 Dimitri E. Prado.
[LGPL license text]
--cut--
Additionally, each file (at least should have) a file description doxygen
block (usually starting with @CFILE), which contains @author, @brief,
@todo, etc tags describing the file. Please add your name to the authors
list and if you are not the initial copyright holder, list the changes you
have made to the file. Let's take sres.c as another example:
--cut--
/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sres.c
* @brief Sofia DNS Resolver implementation.
*
* @author Pekka Pessi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* @author Teemu Jalava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* @author Mikko Haataja
* @author Kai Vehmanen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* (work on the win32 nameserver discovery)
* @author Dimitri E. Prado
* (initial version of win32 nameserver discovery)
*
* @todo The resolver should allow handling arbitrary records, too.

--cut--
The email address is optional (the top-level AUTHORS is a better place to
store up-to-date email addresses). Of course, email address is potentially
still useful to identify people with otherwise the same name. :)
PS The top-level COPYRIGHTS additionally list all files which
have some other license than LGPL.
