Update all copyrights to new ASWF spec

No description provided.

Two bits:

• You don't need the 'https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenFx' line in the header
• Please update the LICENSE file to the standard BSD-3 clause text

Otherwise looks good!

Please update the LICENSE file to the standard BSD-3 clause text

Top-level LICENSE.md looks like the correct BSD-3-Clause license to me (https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause) -- did I miss something?

I do see that Support/LICENSE file was a bit wrong, so I updated that to be correct BSD-3-Clause and deleted some old unneeded license header text (duplicating the license terms already specified by the license clause).

Following on from @revisionfx's comment on the issue, our project has a mixed copyright, so I think the copyright message should be Copyright OpenFX and contributors to the OpenFX project. To avoid confusion, we'd be better off using this in all files rather than just old files.

[garyo]

I will implement whatever the consensus is here, but I don't have enough knowledge to make a decision. My script applies whatever we want to all files. (I do some hand-editing too, but not much.)
I'm not sure who the copyright holder is in "Copyright OpenFX" -- the OpenFX LLC series?

I'm not sure who the copyright holder is in "Copyright OpenFX" -- the OpenFX LLC series?

Yes, according to the legal docs it's "OpenFX a Series of LF Projects, LLC", and I'm assuming it's reasonable to abbreviate that to OpenFX. Maybe that's not a reasonable assumption, in which case we could include the full name. @jmertic do you have any thoughts on that?

[garyo]

Any further thoughts?

[garyo]

According to the IP transfer agreement, the official Assignee is actually "LF Projects, LLC".

[john-paulsmith]

According to the IP transfer agreement, the official Assignee is actually "LF Projects, LLC".

Clause 2.1 of the agreement splits the assignments. Only trademarks were assigned to LF Projects, the copyright and all other IPR was assigned to the Series.

Yes - abbreviating is fine.

[garyo]

OK, I will make this change to " Copyright OpenFX and contributors to the OpenFX project."
