Provenance spreadsheet...

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi all,

Seeing the spreadsheet raised some questions that I think need a consensus.

I think we agreed on a standard header, but is it somewhere in the wiki? 
Also, files added by me, Assefa and Daniel, have the MS/MIT license 
except for that line:

DM license:
  * The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included
  * in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

MS license:
  * The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be 
included in
  * all copies of this Software or works derived from this Software.

Is it critical? What should we do?


Since don't seem to be able to modify the spreadsheet myself here a some 
addition:
I (JSL) was, with Assefa (YA), the primary contributor of mapcontext.c. 
Zak James (ZJ) was the primary contributor of mappdf.c and I think Sacha 
Fournier (SF) contribute the first version of maptemplate.c (I may be 
wrong with that one) for the HTML legend, but he's gone since 2004. The 
header in maptemplate.c does not refer to him probably because the 
header was added by Frank when he added a header to all files.

What should we do with people that are gone?

That makes DM Solutions Group the copyright holder of all files 
contributed by me Assefa and Daniel I guess.

My last question is about the Copyright years. Most files have a year of 
   creation and try to have the year of the last update, but it's not 
up-to-date. Daniel used to update all the files on the first days of 
January, but it's not systematic. Should it be?
