[Incubator] Follow-up: SFCGAL application for OSGeo Community Program

[Jody Garnett]

Hi Loïc,

Just following up now that the motion is open, thanks for updating the
headers.

The contributing.md does not mention what to do when an external
contributor provides an update? Do you intend them to update the header
with their own name or employer?

For example:

    // Copyright (c) 2012-2013, IGN France.
    // Copyright (c) 2012-2024, Oslandia.
    // Copyright (c) 2024-2025, SFCGAL team.
    // Copyright (c) 2026, Jody Garnett (GeoCat)
    // SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.0-or-later

This feedback can just be something to think about and should not hold up
voting :)
