- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
- also update two URLs outside of docs/examples
- fix spelling of filename persistant.c
- fix three long lines that started failing checksrc.pl
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3036
also:
- fix two warnings in synctime.c (one of them Windows-specific)
- upgrade URLs in synctime.c and remove a broken one
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3033
All plain C examples now (mostly) adhere to the curl code style. While
they are only examples, they had diverted so much and contained all
sorts of different mixed code styles by now. Having them use a unified
style helps users and readability. Also, as they get copy-and-pasted
widely by users, making sure they're clean and nice is a good idea.
573 checksrc warnings were addressed.
For getting the date header its not necessary to access special
pages or even CGI scripts - all pages including the main index
reply with the date header, therefore shortened URLs to domain.
Removed worldtime.com; added pool.ntp.org.
Some websites meanwhile refuse to reply to requests from ancient
browsers like IE6, therefore I've comment out this setting, but
also fixed the string to now fake IE8 if someone enables it.
All C and H files now (should) feature the proper project curl source
code header, which includes basic info, a copyright statement and some
basic disclaimers.
