Closes#14073
Since the copy does not stop at a null byte, let's not call it anything
that makes you think it works like the common strndup() function.
Based on feedback from Jay Satiro, Stefan Eissing and Patrick Monnerat

- 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
A struct bufref holds a buffer pointer, a data size and a destructor.
When freed or its contents are changed, the previous buffer is implicitly
released by the associated destructor. The data size, although not used
internally, allows binary data support.
A unit test checks its handling methods: test 1661
Closes#6654
