Update Copyright notices on xges adapter #657

Closed jminor closed 4 years ago

jminor commented 4 years ago

Hi @thiblahute and @hwilkes-igalia, could you update the Copyright notice on xges.py and tests_xges_adapter.py to "Copyright Contributors to the OpenTimelineIO project" instead of "Igalia S.L"?

As part of our transition into ASWF, we are updating the Copyright notices in the project. We intend to switch all of the copyright notices from the various individual or company contributors to the broader phrasing "Copyright Contributors to the OpenTimelineIO project".

This does not change the actual copyright ownership at all. Each contributor still retains the copyright to their own contributions.

This change makes it easier to see that most of the project contains contributions from many people, and makes it clear that this is a community project.

You can see that we did this already for the Pixar copyright notices here:

632

The notices are here: https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenTimelineIO/search?q=igalia&unscoped_q=igalia

Should not be a problem, just wondering who is considered "Contributors to the OpenTimelineIO project" and how are we supposed to get that list?

jminor commented 4 years ago

We have this: https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenTimelineIO/graphs/contributors but we'd like to introduce a CONTRIBUTORS.md file (or something similar) as well. Do you know of a good template/format for a contributors list?

thiblahute commented 4 years ago

Makes sense, thanks for the info.

I do not have a good template/format, in the project I am used to contributing we have the notice in each file as we used to have here.
