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

* 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".
2001-07-06 Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>
* All files under GPL/LGPL version 2: Place under LGPL version
2.1.
Sat Aug 10 13:17:27 1996 David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@azstarnet.com>
* shadow.h: New file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/netinet/in.h: Move
__BEGIN_DECLS/__END_DECLS up so ntohl() et al are bracketed as
well.
* socket/sys/socket.h [__cplusplus]: Use old-style __SOCKADDR_ARG.
g++ 2.7.2 (and earlier) has no transparent unions support.
Fri Aug 9 18:50:06 1996 David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@azstarnet.com>
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/ioperm.c (_bus_base_sparse): New
function to determine the base address of sparse bus memory.
(APECS_*): Rename to CIA_*.
(APECS_SPARSE_MEM, CIA_SPARSE_MEM): New macros.
(platform): Add sparse_bus_memory_base member and initialize.
(sparse_bus_memory_base): New variable.

* sysdeps/posix/ttyname_r.c (ttyname_r),
sysdeps/posix/ttyname.c (ttyname): Return -1/NULL if
!__isatty(fd) (POSIX.1 says so.)
* sysdeps/unix/getlogin.c (getlogin): Fix to check fd 0 only.
This is not a gross hack, after all---for compatibility,
getlogin() really should check fd 0 only and not try to base its
operation on the controlling tty.
Wed Jul 17 10:54:20 1996 David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@azstarnet.com>
* sysdeps/unix/getlogin.c (getlogin): Add static variable NAME,
change utmp_data from static to auto.
Sun Aug 11 02:56:08 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
* posix/unistd.h [__USE_MISC]: Add prototype for `nice'.
