I am under the impression that this is one of the things that you are not permitted to do, even with BSD2CLAUSE code. In German jurisdiction specifically, the author is permitted to decide how to mark his authorship of files and these authorship marks may not be removed without consent of the author (§13 UrhG). I am not sure what the situation is in other jurisdictions. Yours, Robert Clausecker Am Tue, Jul 05, 2022 at 03:16:17PM +0200 schrieb Tobias C.
