Please copy-paste this header verbatim. In particular:
A ``SPDX-License-Identifier`` header is required in all source files, i.e.
``.c``, ``.h``, ``.cpp`` and ``.py`` files. The license boilerplate should be
removed in these files. Some existing files are missing this header, this is
slowly being fixed.
A ``SPDX-License-Identifier`` header *and* the full license boilerplate is
required in schema definition files, i.e. ``.yang`` and ``.proto``. The
rationale for this is that these files are likely to be individually copied to
places outside FRR, and having only the SPDX header would become a "dangling
pointer".
.. warning::
**DO NOT REMOVE A "Copyright" LINE OR AUTHOR NAME, EVER.**
**DO NOT APPLY AN SPDX HEADER WHEN THE LICENSE IS UNCLEAR, UNLESS YOU HAVE
CHECKED WITH *ALL* SIGNIFICANT AUTHORS.**
Please to keep ``#include <zebra.h>``. The absolute first header included in
any C file **must** be either ``zebra.h`` or ``config.h`` (with HAVE_CONFIG_H
guard.)
- Do not replace "This program" with "FRR"
- Do not change the address of the FSF
- keep ``#include <zebra.h>``. The absolute first header included in any C
file **must** be either ``zebra.h`` or ``config.h`` (with HAVE_CONFIG_H guard)
