    qapi: Add copyright declaration on docs · 6fb55451
    Eric Blake 提交于
    While our top-level COPYING with its GPLv2+ license applies to
    any documentation file that omits explicit instructions, these
    days it's better to be a good example of calling out our
    intentions.  Correct use of GPL requires the use of a copyright
    statement, so I'm adding notice to two QAPI documents, by
    attributing these files to the initial authors and major
    contributors.  I used:
    
    $ git blame --line-porcelain $file \
      | sed -n 's/^author //p' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
    
    to determine authorship of these two files.  qmp-spec.txt blames
    entirely to Red Hat (easy, since my contribution falls in that
    category); while qapi-code-gen.txt has multiple contributors
    representing multiple entities.  But since it was originally
    supplied by Michael Roth, the notice I added there copies the
    notice he has used in other files.  As there is no intended
    change in license from the implicit one previously present from
    the top level, I have not bothered to CC other contributors;
    if we want to weaken things to something looser (such as LGPL)
    so that there is no question that someone re-implementing the
    spec is not forced to use GPL, that would be a different commit.
