I don't think i have nver touched these files and I don't usually check in code, but whatever.

(I doubt that any changes I may have made to these files are substantial enough to be copyrightable.)

Any changes I've made have either been checking in or backing out other people's patches. That said:

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

OK, that's everyone who is not employed by Mozilla. :-)

Andreas, Chris: I am preparing a patch for this. However, I notice that:
  dom/bluetooth/BluetoothFirmware.h
  dom/bluetooth/BluetoothFirmware.cpp
no longer exist on mozilla-central. Also, there's a new directory, dom/bluetooth/gonk with some files in it.

What happened to those files? Can you confirm the list above is still current and complete?

[Andreas Gal :gal]

The tree changes under us. The nonexisting file doesn't matter any more. Bluetooth/gonk is all gonk specific.

Attachment: Patch v.1

Here's the patch which converts the list of files in comment 0, as modified by comment 11, to the Apache License 2.0.
