This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Add a boolean that indicates whether the prefixes will always exist
or if they will time out after the assigned valid lifetime. In the
latter case calculate the expiry times for both preferred and valid
lifetimes for the prefixes, and decrease the remaining lifetimes
each time when a Router Advertisement is sent.
Should the prefix be updated, re-calculate the prefix lifetime. When
updating, update the existing entry, if any, with the lifetimes of
the added entry as the existing entry has its lifetimes set
according to its previously calculated expiry times.
Add tests for prefix creation, router variable setting and finally
verify that a Router Advertisement is properly formatted when sending.
Also check that there is a Router Advertisment with zero lifetime
when Router Advertisement sending is stopped.
