Patch v.1

Files that have been processed but shouldn't IMHO have a license header:

instantbird/branding/*/mozicon*.xpm
 It seems strange to put a license header in icon files, but the format seems to accept it. However, it seems "/* XPM */" should stay at the beginning of the file, like for "<?xml" in XML files. This also affects files that have been touched in mozilla-central and comm-central.

instantbird/installer/windows/nsis/updater_append.ini
instantbird/locales/updater_append.ini
 There's a comment at the top of this file stating that it's important that this file starts with a line break, and this file is used to append it to another file that already has a license header, so I think we don't want the header here. The file installer/windows/nsis/updater_append.ini exists for other Mozilla applications in mozilla-central and comm-central, and I think you will want to revert the change to these files.

instantbird/themes/smileys/theme.js
 This file has the .js extension, but it actually contains JSON data, and AFAIK that format doesn't support comments, so no license header there.

instantbird/themes/messages/*/Incoming/*.html
instantbird/themes/messages/*/NextStatus.html
instantbird/themes/messages/*/Status.html
tools/messagestyles/teststyles/*/*.html
tools/messagestyles/teststyles/*/*/*.html
 These HTML files are templates that are included for each displayed IM, so license headers there would be wasteful.



Wrong comment style for the header:

instantbird/locales/l10n.ini
 The ";" prefix seems wrong here, or at least the license headers are inconsistent in these files:
  - In browser/ this file has a "#" prefix for its license headers;
  - mail/ and calendar/ l10n.ini files don't have a header at all;
  - suite/ and toolkit/ have the ";" prefix.

instantbird/themes/accounts-aero.css
instantbird/themes/blist-aero.css
instantbird/themes/conversation-aero.css
instantbird/themes/instantbird-aero.css
instantbird/themes/tabbrowser-winstripe/tabbrowser-aero.css
 These css files start by %include'ing their non -aero version, so adding the license header in them with a /* */ comment format would duplicate the header in the resulting files. I think it's good to add a license header to these files, but it should be with a "% " prefix, so that the headers are preprocessed out. The same situation exists on comm-central.



Missing headers:
tools/buildbot-configs/*/mozconfig-release



Subtree with files still having the tri-license headers:
purple/purplexpcom/


Everything else seems fine by code inspection (I haven't tried building with the patch). Thank you very much for this patch!

Wikipedia suggests that the /* XPM */ on the first line is not a requirement:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPM_%28image_format%29

Given that we've already done this on m-c and c-c, I can see value in consistency.

Excluded.

Noted in bug 759095 and bug 760009.

I will exclude it; but you should rename it :-)

> instantbird/themes/messages/*/Incoming/*.html
> instantbird/themes/messages/*/NextStatus.html
> instantbird/themes/messages/*/Status.html

I will simply exclude instantbird/themes/messages; we can add licenses elsewhere as necessary.

> tools/messagestyles/teststyles/*/*.html
> tools/messagestyles/teststyles/*/*/*.html

Same for tools/messagestyles/teststyles/

Assuming these are all Windows .ini files, then the standard comment char is ";", although some software allows "#":

OK, done.

Added.

That's difficult to do now, as it's also included with the same name in lots of add-ons.

I'm attaching the subset of attachment 628374 [details] [diff] [review] touching this folder that was wanted. This patch can be applied above attachment 628632 [details] [diff] [review].
Attachment #628632 - Flags: review?(florian) → review+
Sounds great. I'll let you get on with checking all these in :-)

Gerv
Checked in attachment 628632 [details] [diff] [review] and attachment 628657 [details] [diff] [review] as https://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/57e8d1da63f8

And I updated by hand the tools/createheader.sh file that couldn't be handled automatically: https://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/b707ece76191

Resolving as fixed, thank you very much!
