Since the Cogl 1.18 branch is actively maintained in parallel with the
master branch; this is a counter part to commit 1b83ef938fc16b which
re-licensed the master branch to use the MIT license.
This re-licensing is a follow up to the proposal that was sent to the
Cogl mailing list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001465.html
Note: there was a copyright assignment policy in place for Clutter (and
therefore Cogl which was part of Clutter at the time) until the 11th of
June 2010 and so we only checked the details after that point (commit
0bbf50f905)
For each file, authors were identified via this Git command:
$ git blame -p -C -C -C20 -M -M10 0bbf50f905..HEAD
We received blanket approvals for re-licensing all Red Hat and Collabora
contributions which reduced how many people needed to be contacted
individually:
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001470.html
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January/001536.html
Individual approval requests were sent to all the other identified authors
who all confirmed the re-license on the Cogl mailinglist:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January
As well as updating the copyright header in all sources files, the
COPYING file has been updated to reflect the license change and also
document the other licenses used in Cogl such as the SGI Free Software
License B, version 2.0 and the 3-clause BSD license.
This patch was not simply cherry-picked from master; but the same
methodology was used to check the source files.
Previously Cogl would accept any version of Wayland when building the
Wayland backend. Seeing as there is now a stable API we might as well
specify that we require at least version 1.0.0. This is now also
mentioned in the README. This patch also changes it to use
PKG_CHECK_MODULES instead of PKG_CHECK_EXISTS because it does need to
abort if it fails and it shouldn't be checking it silently.

(cherry picked from commit d899955b714e5ed50c6c89b9fde4b341bcf80558)
The generated release message and the README have been updated to point
to the reference manuals hosted on developer.gnome.org and state that
documentation for the experimental 2.0 api is not currently available
online since we are migrating services away from clutter-project.org and
may not be able to rely on it for much longer.
The README file is generated by the configure script so that it can
include the required dependency version numbers. However there was no
corresponding AC_SUBST calls for the versions so the README would be
left with @THESE_MARKERS@.
