[zeromq-dev] Copyrights in the source files

Hi all,

I have some code paid for by a company that I want to add to 0MQ.

However, at the moment we have no process to attribute copyrights to 
companies as opposed to individual contributors.

Let's do it this way: If you submit a patch you (as a person) are going 
to be listed in AUTHORS file the same way you are today. Aside of that, 
feel free to add company copyrights to the files you've modified and 
make it a part of the patch.

If you believe the historical patches you've made should be attributed 
to a company, let me know the patch ID and the company name and I'll add 
the copyrights by hand.

Also, maintainers of parts of the project (Mikko?) may want to have 
their part marked by their copyright in one go rather than messing with 
individual patches. If so, let me know.

The above applies to 'libzmq' repository. The stable branches, the 
language bindings etc. have their own policies.

Martin
