- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn

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
For some reason, CMake 2.8.12.2 did not expand the list argument in a
single DEPENDS argument. Remove the quotes, so it gets expanded into
multiple arguments for add_custom_command and add_custom_target.
Fixes https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/1370Closes#1372
Note that for some reason there is this warning (that also exists with
autotools, added since curl-7_15_1-94-ga718cb05f):
docs/libcurl/curl_multi_socket_all.3:1: can't open `man3/curl_multi_socket.3': No such file or directory
Additionally, adjust the roffit --mandir option to support creating
links when doing out-of-tree builds.
