These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
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.
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.
Let's clean up our terminology a bit. New terminology:
FSS = Forward Secure Sealing
FSPRG = Forward Secure Pseudo-Random Generator
FSS is the combination of FSPRG and a HMAC.
Sealing = process of adding authentication tags to the journal.
Verification = process of checking authentication tags to the journal.
Sealing Key = The key used for adding authentication tags to the journal.
Verification Key = The key used for checking authentication tags of the journal.
Key pair = The pair of Sealing Key and Verification Key
Internally, the Sealing Key is the combination of the FSPRG State plus
change interval/start time.
Internally, the Verification Key is the combination of the FSPRG Seed
plus change interval/start time.
