- In commit b3facaa6bb, the copyright header was
updated to include "Citron Homebrew Project" across multiple files, regardless
of whether any contributions were made.
- This commit removes the incorrect attribution and reverts the copyright header
to its previous state.
- Copyright attribution should only be added when meaningful contributions have
been made to the file.
- This commit ensures proper compliance with copyright standards and maintains
correct attribution to the respective contributors.
- Special thanks to Tachi for pointing out the need for these corrections and
ensuring that proper attribution practices are followed.
[REUSE] is a specification that aims at making file copyright
information consistent, so that it can be both human and machine
readable. It basically requires that all files have a header containing
copyright and licensing information. When this isn't possible, like
when dealing with binary assets, generated files or embedded third-party
dependencies, it is permitted to insert copyright information in the
`.reuse/dep5` file.
Oh, and it also requires that all the licenses used in the project are
present in the `LICENSES` folder, that's why the diff is so huge.
This can be done automatically with `reuse download --all`.
The `reuse` tool also contains a handy subcommand that analyzes the
project and tells whether or not the project is (still) compliant,
`reuse lint`.
Following REUSE has a few advantages over the current approach:
- Copyright information is easy to access for users / downstream
- Files like `dist/license.md` do not need to exist anymore, as
`.reuse/dep5` is used instead
- `reuse lint` makes it easy to ensure that copyright information of
files like binary assets / images is always accurate and up to date
To add copyright information of files that didn't have it I looked up
who committed what and when, for each file. As yuzu contributors do not
have to sign a CLA or similar I couldn't assume that copyright ownership
was of the "yuzu Emulator Project", so I used the name and/or email of
the commit author instead.

Github Linguist will read this file when calculating language stats for
the repository. We can use this to exclude any vendored dependencies in
externals and dist. Also makes all h files be considered cpp
