Re: [Glsdk-devel] Patch submission guidelines and accepting contributions

[Branan R. <br...@gm...>]

Since the zlib license we're using requires the copyright notice be
duplicated, we should have a centralized file with the license and a
copyright listing for all contributors. It's also nice to credit each
person in the file so there's a better idea of who did what.

If we were on a self-hosted SVN, we could just put copyright notices
in the files and use a hook script to generate the global license
file. Unfortunately, I can't do that on SF.net.

I'd say we create a global copyright file, and do credits in each file.
