Writing and maintaining free-form documentation is non-trivial
work, and CC0 is therefore not the right license.
Reflect that by changing the license to CC-BY-SA and update the
list of copyright holders based on the files' git history.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell-extensions/-/merge_requests/348>
Provide all licenses used in the project in a LICENSES folder and
add SPDX license and copyright information for all files in
accordance with the Reuse Software[0] specification.
The copyright information is based on the file's git history,
using a fairly generous definition of "non-trivial".
As of the spec recommendation, the information is generally added
as comments in the files themselves, except for
- NEWS, README and similar top-level standard files, so that
a SPDX code isn't the first thing people encounter
- files that don't support comments (json) or where they'd
be a bit awkward (.desktop, .service)
- anything under po/, to not interfere with translation teams
Those are covered by a .reuse/dep5 files, except for image assets,
where separate .license files are used (It would be possible to
add comments to SVG files, but I don't trust image editors to
preserve them).
