Hi Mohamed,
On the team meeting last week, we discussed the license under which the error reporting server will be published.
Because it is based on cakePHP which is licensed under MIT 2.0, we decided to license our additions under MIT 2.0 as well. This way it will be easier to contribute any changes that might be useful for cakePHP upstream (if applicable).
In order to keep track of who holds copyright on which files (cakePHP or phpMyAdmin), a copyright notice should be added to each file that was created for phpMyAdmin. For original cakePHP files that are modified, both copyright holders (cakePHP and phpMyAdmin) should be mentioned.
Can you do the necessary changes?
Thanks!

Hi Dieter,
so each and every file created should have a copyright notice. Does that include generated files such as the schema or the migrations? Also I would need the actual script you want to be included at the top of the file be it ours or has joint authors.
I am also assuming that this is a low priority task and would be done in my down time since I donot think this is time sensitive. Once you give me the actual copyright notice to include I will start adding them to the necessary files as I go.
Also files that are created by Cakephp already have a copyright notice should I remove it and replace it with ours that has both authors or should I modify their copyright notice or should I place our copyright notice after theirs.
Furthermore as for the issue of empty but copyrighted files I have here the original app controller file as supplied by cakephp [0] and here the current state of the file [1]. should this file still be under joint copyright. I think this is the only one which has changed so radically but there are others that are empty but copyrighted however I havent changed them yet
