Hi, I frequently encounter files in the OpenWrt trunk (both Makefiles and files included in images) that contain "generic" Copyright information like:
# # Copyright (C) 2014-2016 OpenWrt.org # Copyright (C) 2016 LEDE-Project.org # By "generic", I'm referring to the fact that this claims OpenWrt copyright inside the OpenWrt projects code, which seems redundant to me. Examples: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/package/system/opkg/Makefile https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/mvebu/cortexa72/base-files/etc/board.d/02_network In the first example, a similar argument applies to the license, which is just a repetition of the repo's license. I wonder whether it would be appropriate to remove these "redundant" Copyright/license comments. To me, it just looks like a waste of space (in case of the board.d file actually space on the device) where it is not really conveying any additional information. As I'm a young member in development though, I'd like to have some opinions on this one before I do anything (including proposing a patch). Best Adrian
