Guidelines
Nordix license headers must be used on code and documentation being submitted to Nordix and through Nordix to other open source projects. The license headers for various types of source and documentation files are stored in the licenses directory of the infra/tools repo in the Nordix gerrit.
In the example files, the copyright line is specified as follows:
Copyright (C) 20XX-20YY OpenInfra Foundation Europe.
Where XX is the year of the creation of the file and YY is the year of the last modification of the file. Modify the XX and YY dates as appropriate.
In cases where creation and all modifications occurred in the same year, modify the line above as follows:
Copyright (C) 20XX OpenInfra Foundation Europe.
Where XX is the year of the creation of the file.
Never change the Copyright notice of another company on a file.
In cases where a substantial change is made to an existing file originally authored by another company or organization, add a Nordix copyright line under the copyright line or lines already in the copyright notice:
Copyright (C) 2014-2016 Acme Corporation. Modifications Copyright (C) 2017 Snake Oil Inc. Modifications Copyright (C) 20XX OpenInfra Foundation Europe.
A "substantial change" is where the code change goes beyond formatting or minor bug fixing.
