Hi all,
We would appreciate Your help in one quite trivial task. With a joint effort
together it also should be reasonable small task for individual developer.
Digia acquired all Nokia's Qt copyrights last year. We have already changed the
copyrights in main branches. All non-Nokia copyrights remain unchanged.
Next step would correct copyrights to qt-project labs/playground repository
codes. Changing these copyrights is not the most urgent task, but we would
appreciate Your help to get these corrected within next couple of months.
Here is some examples:
1. "Copyright (C) 2012 Nokia Corporation and/or its subsidiary(-ies)" or
something similar with different year. For example in:
playground\alignedtimer
playground\mimetypes
playground\qlogger
playground\qtbinaryjson
playground\qtjsonstream
playground\qtprocessmanager
playground\qtsystemtest
playground\scenegraph
pyside
qt-labs\jira2gv
qt-labs\messagingframework
qt-labs\photoshop-qmlexporter
qt-labs\qtaddonmimetype
qt-labs\qtest-qml
2. In some repositories company copyright is missing and there is only
original author copyright. Example:
** Copyright (C) 2012 Firstname Surname
<em...@xyz.org<mailto:em...@xyz.org>>
** Contact: http://www.qt-project.org/
Still inside the License header QT_BEGIN_LICENSE and QT_END_LICENSE tags is the
Nokia version, like in:
playground\qtaudio3d
playground\qtmof
playground\qtserialport
playground\uihelpers
3. There are repositories where copyright is right, but LGPL_EXCEPTION.txt
is Nokia version. Examples:
installer-framework\installer-framework
playground\qtserialport
qt-labs\messagingframework
qt-labs\qtest-qml
qt-mobility\qt-mobility
The correct Copyright text is:
Copyright (C) 2013 Digia Plc and/or its subsidiary(-ies)
