[ECOS] eCosCentric copyright hold in headers

[Andrew Lunn]

Hi Jifl, Alex etc...

What is the correct way to indicate in a files copyright header that
it has been assigned to eCosCentric? Simply 

Copyright (C) 2004 eCosCentric Ltd

like the RedHat line?

      Thanks
            Andrew

Yep. It should all get blasted away when the FSF assignment happens (don't 
ask).

and for the benefit of all...

When I asked them face-to-face last week at ESCW, Red Hat were unable to 
provide a date when the actual assignment to the FSF would happen. 
Apparently everything has passed through legal and it is now a matter of 
waiting for their engineer to become available to actually make the 
assignment and header changes.

We could offer to do the changes for them but would need legal-sign off 
from someone in Red Hat for all the files that would have their 
copyright changed.  If we are going to help make this happen, I suggest 
we provide Red Hat with a list of all the eCos files for which they hold 
copyright and have them approve the list (in writing).  We can then make 
the copyright changes and assignments to the FSF (including eCosCentric 
and other maintainer held copyrights) in one go, which would make a lot 
of sense.
