these changes are the outcome of a long mailing list thread that took place March 2016, "musl licensing". among minor other issues, prospective users were not confident that the whole-project MIT license would grant permission for files to which the COPYRIGHT file expressed a belief that copyright not apply, if it turned out that these files were actually subject to copyright. in accordance with the original intent of applying a permissive license to the project, which was that license issues not be an obstacle to use, the text which was causing confusion is removed. no new claims of copyright are made, but new text is added to clarify that the grant of permissions applies to all files, and an explicit grant of permission to use public headers and crt files without attribution has been made. this patch was reviewed and approved by all substantial contributors to the affected files: Bobby Bingham, John Spencer (rofl0r), Nicholas J. Kain, Rich Felker, Richard Pennington, Stefan Kristiansson, and Szabolcs Nagy.

The implementation of blowfish crypt (src/crypt/crypt_blowfish.c) was

Pennington for use in the ellcc project. The original code was adapted

by Rich Felker for build system and code conventions during upstream

integration. It is licensed under the standard MIT terms.

All other files which have no copyright comments are original works
|
|
produced specifically for use as part of this library, written either
|
|
by Rich Felker, the main author of the library, or by one or more
|
|
contibutors listed above. Details on authorship of individual files
|
|
can be found in the git version control history of the project. The
|
|
omission of copyright and license comments in each file is in the
|
|
interest of source tree size.
|
|
|
|
In addition, permission is hereby granted for all public header files
|
|
(include/* and arch/*/bits/*) and crt files intended to be linked into
|
|
applications (crt/*, ldso/dlstart.c, and arch/*/crt_arch.h) to omit
|
|
the copyright notice and permission notice otherwise required by the
|
|
license, and to use these files without any requirement of
|
|
attribution. These files include substantial contributions from:
|
|
|
|
Bobby Bingham
|
|
John Spencer
|
|
Nicholas J. Kain
|
|
Rich Felker
|
|
Richard Pennington
|
|
Stefan Kristiansson

Szabolcs Nagy
|
|
|
|
all of whom have explicitly granted such permission.
|
|
|
|
This file previously contained text expressing a belief that most of
|
|
the files covered by the above exception were sufficiently trivial not
|
|
to be subject to copyright, resulting in confusion over whether it
|
|
negated the permissions granted in the license. In the spirit of
|
|
permissive licensing, and of not having licensing issues being an
|
|
obstacle to adoption, that text has been removed.
