15529 - some files in js/src have no license boilerplate at all

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

These files need to be updated with appropriate boilerplate from
<http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/boilerplate-1.1/>.

Attachment: list of files which probably require updates

Comment 2

[Mike McCabe]

A number of files in this list appear to be files generated during the build
process.    We do seem to be missing some licenses, but a run of your
license-testing tool on a clean tree will probably yield a clearer picture of
just what we need.

Right you are; I'll generate another list.

Roger, can you handle this?

Setting all Javacript bugs to rginda QA Contact.

Got a bunch done already, working on the rest, but not for M14 anymore.

[rogerl (gone)]

Patrick made me do this ... would you mind taking a look at the list of files 
attached (there's also a pointer to some guidelines on boilerplates) and see 
whats left to be done here. Thanks

Milestone 0.8 has been released. We should either resolve this bug or update its
milestone.

Comment 12

[Phil Schwartau]

Updating milestone - low-priority, but should be able to get to this shortly - 
my apologies.

Comment 13

[Phil Schwartau]

Moving out to mozilla1.0 milestone - 

Comment 14

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Bugs targeted at mozilla1.0 without the mozilla1.0 keyword moved to mozilla1.0.1 
(you can query for this string to delete spam or retrieve the list of bugs I've 
moved)

Attachment: Updated list of files in js/src that are missing licenses

Not sure if this bug needs this, but I've updated the list of files that I
noticed do not have licenses.  I excluded autogenerated files and binaries.

Attachment: remove unused files

In addition to not having license boilerplate, these files seem to be totally unused, so might as well remove.

Comment 19

[Luke Wagner [:luke]]

With these changes,
  find . -maxdepth 1 -o -not -type d -print | xargs head -n 40
shows copyright blurbs for all files with the exception of Y.js which is not part of the build and more a test/amusement.

If I wrote it moco owns the copyright anyways, so yes.

Comment 21

[Mitchell Baker]

As a clarification:  the Mozilla Foundation owns the IP.  Fine (I think, I'll ask Harvey) for the copyright notice to identify the Mozilla Corporation as the Initial Developer; code and IP developed by MoCo is owned by the Foundation.

remove unused files

I'm sentimental about perfect.js (it dates from 1995), but probably the right way to memorialize it is to make it a test -- r=me with that.

Backed out because of broken jsreftests:

[Luke Wagner [:luke]]

Apparently js/src/tests/perfect.js is too cute for the browser reftest harness (it worked in the shell harness).
