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.
This is in preparation to reusing the RemoteServer in other concepts.
I tried to keep changes to minimum:
- arg_* global variables are now passed as state in RemoteServer
- exported functions get the "journal_remote_" prefix
- some variables are renamed
In particular, there is an ugly global RemoveServer* variable. It was originally
added because µhttpd did not allow state to be passed to the callbacks. I'm not
sure if this has been remediated in µhttpd, but either way, this is not changed
here, the global variable is only renamed for clarity.
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.
Usually, we place the #pragma once before the copyright blurb in header files,
but in a few cases we didn't. Move those around, so that we do the same thing
everywhere.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
