Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/4] maint: use LGPL correctly

Several files called out COPYING or COPYING.LIB instead of using
the normal boilerplate. It's especially important that we don't
call out COPYING from an LGPL file, since COPYING is traditionally
used for the GPL. A few files were lacking copyright altogether.
* src/rpc/gendispatch.pl: Add missing copyright.
* src/rpc/genprotocol.pl: Spell out license terms.
Since we add the copyright here (in files not distributed in the
tarball), should we maybe add it also to other build-helper scripts
(both perl and shell ones)?

Any other files where I should add a copyright notice?
Copyrights are mostly correct, but I had a look at licenses as well and
mentioned those files as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think
some of these files should have copyright added (only where we have it)
and all of the are missing a license:
src/driver.h
src/internal.h
src/check-symfile.pl
src/check-symsorting.pl
src/vbox/vbox_V3_2.c
src/vbox/vbox_V4_0.c
src/vbox/vbox_V4_1.c
I'm not sure about license/copyright in:
Makefile.nonreentrant
tools/virt-pki-validate.in
tools/virt-sanlock-cleanup.in
python/*.{py,c,h}
And these probably don't need license since it's "AS-IS" now:
src/util/virhash.c
src/util/virhash.h

I think these lines belong together as it doesn't just mean "Authors"
but also to whom the last copyright belongs. I'd add Anthony and DV in
the line of the copyright.
Anyway, ACK.
