Hello,
I don't object to clear rules. At the moment it's a bit of a mix. Some
examples of what I have found (mainly in PowerPC):
Above the copyright line:
https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/bsps/powerpc/ss555/start/vectors.S
https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/bsps/powerpc/ss555/start/vectors_init.c
https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/bsps/powerpc/ss555/start/irq.c
https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/bsps/powerpc/include/libcpu/irq.h
Mixed in the header somewhere:
https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/bsps/powerpc/ss555/start/bspstart.c

This seems fine to me. We don't have any standard way to document this
kind of attribution. However, we have had individual authors add their
names below their company's copyright. It might make sense to put the
sponsorship part beneath the copyright of the sponsored
company/person?
Make sense. The copyright block should be limited to just copyrights
and sponsor
acknowledgements should in a separate block, maybe after the license
block.
Yes, I also think it should be outside the license comment block.
Not a big deal, but it might help for some kind of
consistent guidance if we do this more in the future.
I think we need some guidelines. I do not agree with URL links, email
addresses,
phone numbers or street addreses appearing in the source. I also think
a sponsor
acknowledgement is never updated or changed even if a company changes
name. What
I am not sure about is the areas of the source we allow this to happen
in, ie
score ...?
We could add some text here:
https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/eng/coding-file-hdr.html
Without discussing it with Onto: An alternative to attribution in the
code could be an attribution page in the manuals where we can collect
such notes. That would avoid scattering them throughout the code. It
would also make it easier to (for example) attribute to supporters that
maybe don't fund coding but other activities like infrastructure.
We could add "User Applications" in a similar section. At the moment
these are in a TBR wiki area: https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/TBR/UserApp
Best regards
Christian
