Description Alp Toker 2007-12-13 21:28:15 PST
This patch is the result of an informal audit of contributions using SVN history.

Files are re-licensed to LGPL where the consent of all listed copyright holders has been given.

Copyright header entries that were introduced accidentally during stubbing have been removed. Copyright header entries for stubs-only files have been removed and can be considered empty templates until they are implemented.

Where SVN history is ambiguous the code (nearly all of which is stub code) has been re-written, whilst maintaining the original behaviour. The only case this was necessary was in FrameLoaderClientGtk.cpp.

This patch requires additional authorization from these copyright holders before it can be landed:

Christian Dywan <christian@twotoasts.de>
Xan Lopez <xan@gnome.org>

No authorization is required from Apple Inc. since files containing non-trivial content (more than a couple of lines of non-stub code) by Apple are not modified by this patch.

(Minor coding style fixes are included for the kinds of issues that you only notice when you have to scrutinize the entire code-base of a port for days on end -- typically whitespace fixes or removal of stdio.h)

Only GTK+ port files are modified. (No modifications to curl or cairo backends.)

The two remaining acknowledgements have come from Xan and Christian for the re-licensing to go ahead.

r=me

A few spots here added extra spaces.
Comment 6 Alp Toker 2007-12-14 17:06:26 PST
Landed in r28728.

(The whitespace was added to match the formatting of the standard LGPL boilerplate.)
