Sample is in below patch. Although this looks like a duplication, I am not sure if this is a legal requirement, or legally has a meaning. And this usage keep increasing when a new file created, because header copied from an old file.. If there is no objection I can send a patch to clean them, there are some number of them now: $ git grep "[*#]\s*All rights reserved." | wc -l 1373 Signed-off-by: Ferruh Yigit --- Makefile | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index f4b807ebd..795ef03b4 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -1,7 +1,6 @@ # BSD LICENSE # # Copyright(c) 2010-2014 Intel Corporation.
