  1. Personal Copyright Notices

    Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> — 2010-02-02T18:48:20Z

    Some more _personalized_ copyright noticed have crept into our source
    tree:
    
     /src/tutorial/basics.source	Copyright (c) 1994, Andrew Yu, University of California 
     /contrib/intagg/Makefile	Copyright (c) 2001 Digital Music Network by Mark L. Woodward
     /src/port/rint.c		Copyright (c) 1999, repas AEG Automation GmbH
     /contrib/isn/isn.c		Copyright (c) 2004-2006, Germn Mndez Bravo (Kronuz)
     /contrib/isn/isn.h		Copyright (c) 2004-2006, Germn Mndez Bravo (Kronuz)
     /src/backend/utils/mb/Unicode/UCS_to_GB18030.pl    Copyright 2002 by Bill Huang
    
    Does anyone have contacts to the other people listed?  Ideally we can
    get them to send the list an email stating their copyright notice can be
    removed.
    
    Below is a summary of each item:
    --------------------------------
    
    I received permission from Andrew Yu to remove a copyright he had on
    another file in 2007:
    
    	http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-03/msg01528.php
    
    I have emailed him to get approval to remove this mention also.
    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    The intagg copyright is on a _Makefile_:
    
    	# Makefile for integer aggregator
    	# Copyright (C) 2001 Digital Music Network.
    	# by Mark L. Woodward
    	# $PostgreSQL: pgsql/contrib/intagg/Makefile,v 1.10 2008/11/14 19:58:45	tgl Exp $
    
    Seems we either have to contact the author or rewrite the file.
    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    The rint.c file is again tiny:
    
     * rint.c
     *    rint() implementation
     *
     * Copyright (c) 1999, repas AEG Automation GmbH
    
    Perhaps that just needs to be rewritten.
    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    The ISN copyright looks like this:
    
    	 * Copyright (c) 2004-2006, Germ<E1>n M<E9>ndez Bravo (Kronuz)
    	 * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2010, PostgreSQL Global Development Group
    
    Interestingly, he mentions himself and PGDG both in the copyright, which
    makese this less of an issue.  Looking at the ISN code, it appears he
    was the creator of the original file:
    
    	revision 1.1
    	date: 2006/09/09 04:07:52;  author: tgl;  state: Exp;
    	Add contrib/isn module for ISBN/ISSN/EAN13/etc product numbers, and
    	remove the old isbn_issn module which is about to be obsoleted by EAN13.
    	contrib/isn is by Germ<E1>n M<E9>ndez Bravo.  Our thanks to Garrett A.
    	Wollman for having written the original isbn_issn module.
    
    and he asked about his copyright mention as part of the patch
    discussion:
    
    	http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-09/msg00794.php
    
    I never saw the issue actually addressed and the copyright line was committed.
    Do people think it is acceptable?

    So based on our discussion of last week my understanding is that as long as
    these people are content to release the code under the same license then
    these statements don't change anything since they're included in the
    Postgresql global development group anyways.

    I received an email reply from Andrew Yu stating it is OK to remove his
    copyright, so I have done so in CVS HEAD and 8.4.X.

    Yes, I believe that is correct.  However, it is confusing to have their
    copyrights mentioned in our code, so ideally the copyrights would be
    removed.

    Why? Even if the text is removed, he will still own the copyright, as
    is the case for any patch submitted because we don't have any form of
    copyright assignment.

    True, but their names on these files is bound to confuse legal folks
    looking at the code.  I got a private email about these copyrights last
    week from a _very_ large company, which is how they came to my
    attention.

    I'm not saying we shouldn't remove the text, but there's no need to
    rewrite the code.

    Well, for the ones where the file is 6 lines, it might be worth 
    re-writing if we can't contact the authors.

    I have rewritten the above file from scratch to enable removal of the
    copyright mention.

    I received a new rint() version from Nathan Wagner that is simpler and
    replaced the old rint() code with Nathan's and removed the copyright
    mention.  Patch attached.

    I received email permission from German Mendez Bravo to just mention him
    as the /contrib/isn author, and remove the "copyright" word.  Change
    commited.

    I have now dealt with all of these except the last one:

    Does anyone know how to contact Bill Huang?  Based on this posting:
    
    	http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-announce/2002-06/msg00003.php
    
    he lives in Japan and worked for Red Hat, and a Japan phone number is
    listed that I did not try.  I did try emailing him at
    bill_huanghb@ybb.ne.jp and huang@redhat.com but both emails returned
    failure messages.
    
    The perl file is 100 lines so it is possible to rewrite it if necessary.
    This same file was mentioned in 2007 so I think we should just find a
    solution to this:

    Uhm, you rewrote it and it turned out byte-for-byte identical except
    for the removed copyright comments? Actually the file is trivial
    enough -- it's just our standard pgxs template with the two filenames
    inserted -- that that's plausible. I think that indicates that it
    wasn't really something copyrightable to begin with.

    Right, I copied /contrib/intarray/Makefile and modified it.  If it turns
    out identical, so be it.

    I have been able to remove this last personal copyright thanks to
    Andreas 'ads' Scherbaum, who rewrote the perl script using another perl
    script from the same directory that was created before the offending
    file.  Patch attached.
