* Documentation: coreboot Gerrit Etiquette and GuidelinesMartin Roth2015-11-241-0/+263
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the community has grown, so has the need to formalize some of the guidelines that the community lives by. When the community was small, it was easy to communicate these things just from one person to another. Now, with more people joining the community every day, it seems that it's time to write some of these things down, allowing people to understand our policies immediately instead of making them learn our practices as they make mistakes. As it says in the document: The following rules are the requirements for behavior in the coreboot codebase in gerrit. These have mainly been unwritten rules up to this point, and should be familiar to most users who have been active in coreboot for a period of time. Following these rules will help reduce friction in the community.

* tree: drop last paragraph of GPL copyright headerPatrick Georgi2015-10-311-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It encourages users from writing to the FSF without giving an address. Linux also prefers to drop that and their checkpatch.pl (that we imported) looks out for that. This is the result of util/scripts/no-fsf-addresses.sh with no further editing.

* Remove address from GPLv2 headersPatrick Georgi2015-05-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons but because there are tools that look for them, and giving them a standard pattern simplifies things. However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a new lease, but can drop the address instead. util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that we may want to synchronize every now and then. $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, *MA[, ]*02110-1301[, ]*USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-1335, USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place[-, ]*Suite 330, Boston, MA *02111-1307[, ]*USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -a \! -name \*.patch \ -a \! -name \*_shipped \ -a \! -name LICENSE_GPL \ -a \! -name LGPL.txt \ -a \! -name COPYING \ -a \! -name DISCLAIMER \ -exec sed -i "/Foundation, Inc./ N;s:Foundation, Inc.* USA\.* *:Foundation, Inc. :;s:Foundation, Inc. $:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + Change-Id: Icc968a5a5f3a5df8d32b940f9cdb35350654bef9 Signed-off-by: Patrick Georgi <pgeorgi@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/9233 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Vladimir Serbinenko <phcoder@gmail.com>
