libgit2/git.git-authors
Russell Belfer c7c260a5ff Got some permission to use userdiff patterns
I contacted a number of Git authors and lined up their permission
to relicense their work for use in libgit2 and copied over their
code for diff driver xfuncname patterns.  At this point, the code
I've copied is taken verbatim from core Git although Thomas Rast
warned me that the C++ patterns, at least, really need an update.
I've left off patterns where I don't feel like I have permission
at this point until I hear from more authors.

# This document lists the authors that have given voice to
# their decision regarding relicensing the GPL'd code from
# git.git to the GPL + gcc-exception license used by libgit2.
#
# Note that the permission is given for libgit2 use only. For
# other uses, you must ask each of the contributors yourself.
#
# To show the owners of a file in git.git, one can run the
# following command:
#
# git blame -C -C -M -- file | \
# sed -e 's/[^(]*(\([^0-9]*\).*/\1/' -e 's/[\t ]*$//' | \
# sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
#
# If everyone on the list that produces are on the list in
# the recently added file "git.git-authors", it *should* be
# safe to include that code in libgit2, but make sure to
# read the file to ensure the code doesn't originate from
# somewhere else.
#
# The format of this list is
# "ok/no/ask/???"<tab>"Author"<space>"<email>"
#
# "ok" means the author consents to relicensing all their
# contributed code (possibly with some exceptions)
# "no" means the author does not consent
# "ask" means that the contributor wants to give/withhold
# his/her consent on a patch-by-patch basis.
# "???" means the person is a prominent contributor who has
# not yet made his/her standpoint clear.
# "ign" means the authors consent is ignored for the purpose
# of libification. This is because the author has contributed
# to areas that aren't interesting for the library.
#
# Please try to keep the list alphabetically ordered. It will
# help in case we get all 600-ish git.git authors on it.
#
# (Paul Kocher is the author of the mozilla-sha1 implementation
# but has otherwise not contributed to git.)
