We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
xlocale.h is already a single-type micro-header, defining struct
__locale_struct and the typedefs __locale_t and locale_t. This patch
brings it into the bits/types/ scheme: there are now
bits/types/__locale_t.h which defines only __locale_struct and
__locale_t, and bits/types/locale_t.h which defines locale_t as well
as the other two. None of *our* headers need __locale_t.h, but it
appears to me that libstdc++ could make use of it.
There are a lot of external uses of xlocale.h, but all the uses I
checked had an autoconf test or equivalent for its existence. It has
never been available from other C libraries, and it has always
contained a comment reading "This file is not standardized, don't rely
on it, it can go away without warning" so I think dropping it is
pretty safe.
I also took the opportunity to clean up comments in various public
header files that still talk about the *_l interfaces as though they
were completely nonstandard. There are a few of them, notably the
strtoX_l and wcstoX_l families, that haven't been standardized, but
the bulk are in POSIX.1-2008.
* locale/xlocale.h: Rename to...
* locale/bits/types/__locale_t.h: ...here. Adjust commentary.
Only define struct __locale_struct and __locale_t, not locale_t.
* locale/bits/types/locale_t.h: New file; define locale_t here.
* locale/Makefile (headers): Update to match.
* include/xlocale.h: Delete wrapper.
* include/bits/types/__locale_t.h: New wrapper.
* include/bits/types/locale_t.h: New wrapper.
* ctype/ctype.h, include/printf.h, include/time.h
* locale/langinfo.h, locale/locale.h, stdlib/monetary.h
* stdlib/stdlib.h, string/string.h, string/strings.h, time/time.h
* wcsmbs/wchar.h, wctype/wctype.h: Use bits/types/locale_t.h.
Correct outdated comments regarding the standardization status of
the functions that take locale_t arguments.
* stdlib/strtod_l.c, stdlib/strtof_l.c, stdlib/strtol_l.c
* stdlib/strtold_l.c, stdlib/strtoul_l.c, stdlib/strtoull_l.c
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/strtold_l.c
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-64-128/strtold_l.c
* wcsmbs/wcstod.c, wcsmbs/wcstod_l.c, wcsmbs/wcstof.c
* wcsmbs/wcstof_l.c, wcsmbs/wcstold.c, wcsmbs/wcstold_l.c:
Don't include xlocale.h. If necessary, include locale.h instead.
* stdlib/strtold_l.c: Unconditionally include wchar.h.
2001-07-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* manual/argp.texi: Remove ignored LGPL copyright notice; it's
not appropriate for documentation anyway.
* manual/libc-texinfo.sh: "Library General Public License" ->
"Lesser General Public License".

* All files under GPL/LGPL version 2: Place under LGPL version
2.1.
* locale/Makefile (headers): Add bits/locale.h.
* locale/langinfo.h: Don't include <locale.h>. Include <bits/locale.h>
and use __LC_ constants instead of LC_.
* locale/locale.h: Include <bits/locale.h> and define LC_ constants
using __LC_ constants.
* locale/bits/locale.h: New file.
* locale/loadlocale.c: Include <locale.h>.
* locale/nl_langinfo.h: Likewise.
