ping @permcody @rcm59. This issue will only address the COPYRIGHT
file changes, the header changes will be applied on the fly as files are added or changed. Mostly, this is just to get the method all fleshed out.
@tophmatthews - Looking at this new header, I think we see several shortcomings on our part. Now that we are adding LANL, we really should be granting credit to contributors from other laboratories and other universities etc.
I think it's time for us to change the header on all of MOOSE to direct people to the copyright and license files where we can maintain a curated list of contributors and copyright holders. Let me throw up a different header and see if you think that'll suffice.
Rationale
This is in preparation of future LANL collaboration to the framework, while keeping the lawyers happy.
Description
For LANL created or modified models, the following header will be applied to the .h and .C files:
The COPYRIGHT file will then include the full wordage
Impact
Files modified by LANL will need to retain the copyright header, and that may mean if there is a header check script, it'll have to be modified.
