- 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
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
Added script to update man pages to use the current date and
curl/libcurl versions.
updatemanpages.pl has three arrays: list of directories to look in,
list of extensions to process, list of files to exclude from
processing.
Check man page in git repoistory using the date from the existing man
page before updating to avoid updating the man page if no change is
made.
If data is received from the git command then update the man page with
the current date and version otherwise leave alone.
Applied patch from badger to make the date argument optional, change the
git command used, added date argument to processfile subroutine and
print to STDERR if no date is found in a man page.
Added code to process the changed man page into a new man page with
.dist added to the filename to keep the original source files unchanged.
Updated POD documentation to reflect that the date argument optional.
Code style is in line with CODE_STYLE.md.
