Update osquery copyright blocs

[directionless]

We had a suggestion come in to include the SPDX identifiers. How about:

/**
 *  Copyright (c) 2014-present, The osquery authors
 *
 *  This source code is licensed as defined on the LICENSE file found in the
 *  root directory of this source tree.
 *
 * SPDX-License-Identifier: (Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-only)
 */

I wrote https://github.com/directionless/copyright-change-repo-headers It changes most of the instances in the osquery repo. There's a handful of one offs to get fixed after that.

Thanks for doing that research! “The osquery Authors” sounds great.

Currently it is:

/**

 *  All rights reserved.
 *
 *  This source code is licensed as defined on the LICENSE file found in the
 *  root directory of this source tree.
 */

Kubernetes is maybe the largest and oldest project that has been transitioned from a tech company to The Linux Foundation, since it was transitioned to LF in 2015. For some reason, they saw cause to specifically remove the phrase "All Rights Reserved." and the reason: "because Lawyers. It legally means nothing, and more words is less good."

The copyright belongs to the Linux Foundation as of 2019, as @theopolis has said. I don't think we should say "the osquery authors" because effectively the CLA is for contributors ("authors" in some sense) to assign away their copyright claim to their contributions.

Here’s what we do in CNCF https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/copyright-notices.md

Ok, if that's how it's done then I retract my suggestion to avoid saying osquery authors in the notice.

Go with this then?

/**
 *  Copyright (c) 2014-present, The osquery authors
 *
 *  This source code is licensed as defined on the LICENSE file found in the
 *  root directory of this source tree.
 */

this is perfect imho
