Copyright on source in Gitea

[joubertredrat]

Hi guys,

Gitea is fork from Gogs and we need to respect this, but, the plan is make this as independent fork, then, we need to copyright us too. In PHP project we refer to the old contributors, but also the new ones on comments.

The question is, we will add new copyright on comments as example or not?

Let's talk

Files that are changed should add a line above saying // Copyright (c) 2016 The Gitea Authors :)

^, please see CONTRIBUTING

@lunny I saw here, but in my opinion, this section isn't clear enough. Only saw how comments need to be, don't talk if is to add our copyright or replace original copyright by our. Because this my question.

For me, we need to add our copyright on files changed and preserve original, like @bkcsoft saw.

If you thinks it's not clear, send a PR to change the CONTRIBUTING. And the owners should review it .

Question is answered, we add the Gitea copyright to files we are changing.
