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
gets has the dubious honor of being the only C89 library feature that
has been completely removed from the current C and C++ standards.
glibc follows suit by not declaring it in _GNU_SOURCE mode either,
but it remains present in older compatibility modes. Internally,
two test cases need to see stdio.h make the declaration, but all our
internal code is of course compiled under _GNU_SOURCE. This is currently
kludged by duplicating the gets declaration, fortify wrapper and all,
in include/stdio.h. Also, the conditional in the public headers for
deciding when to declare gets is complicated and repeated in two places.
This patch adds a new macro to features.h that encapsulates the
complicated rule for when to declare gets. stdio.h and bits/stdio2.h
then simply test __GLIBC_USE (DEPRECATED_GETS), and instead of having
a duplicate gets declaration in include/stdio.h, debug/tst-chk1.c and
stdio-common/tst-gets.c can force gets to be declared.
* include/features.h (__GLIBC_USE_DEPRECATED_GETS): New macro.
* libio/stdio.h, libio/bits/stdio2.h: Condition gets on
__GLIBC_USE (DEPRECATED_GETS). Update comments to indicate
gets was removed from C++ in C++14.
* include/stdio.h: Remove redundant declaration of gets.
* debug/tst-chk1.c, stdio-common/tst-gets.c: Force gets to
be declared, since we are testing it.
* stdio-common/Makefile (tst-gets.c): Compile with
-Wno-deprecated-declarations.
* debug/Makefile (tst-chk1.c, tst-chk2.c, tst-chk3.c, tst-chk4.cc)
(tst-chk5.cc, tst-chk6.cc, tst-lfschk1.c, tst-lfschk2.c)
(tst-lfschk3.c, tst-lfschk4.cc, tst-lfschk5.cc, tst-lfschk6.cc):
Compile with -Wno-deprecated-declarations.

not appropriate for documentation anyway.
* manual/libc-texinfo.sh: "Library General Public License" ->
"Lesser General Public License".
