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
curl-config --version didn't output the correct version string (bug
introduced in commit 0355e33b5f), and unfortunately the test
case 1022 that was supposed to check for this was broken.
This change fixes the test to detect this problem and it fixes the
output.
