Hi all,

currently, OpenRC has file-based copyright/licensing information. I
would like to centralize all of this information, following the
centralized model described here [1].

This would mean that, at the top of each file, there would be a
copyright notice stating:

Copyright <years> OpenRC authors

[with the licensing information from the page I am referring to
mentioning the license and a copy of the license at the top level of the
distro]

Then there would be a file, Authors, at the top level listing everyone
who has submitted code to the project.

Does anyone see any legal issues I need to worry about in doing this?
The web site seems to advise that it is legal to do this type of
conversion, so I want to find out what others think here as well.

Thanks,

William
