Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.
Follow the SPDX license specification: https://spdx.org/licenses
- C/C++/objc/objc++
- Python
- Shell Scripts
- CMake, GNUmakefile
While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they
use different header conventions.
doc/license/SPDX-license-identifiers.txt has been added to list SPDX all
used identifiers.

These are scripts for benchmarking Blender features on real-world .blend
files. They were originally written for benchmarking Cycles performance, and
were made generic so they can be used for more Blender features.
The benchmarks can be run locally by developers. But the plan is to also run
these as part of continuous integration to track performance over time.
Currently there are tests for Cycles rendering and .blend file loading.
Documentation:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Tools/Tests/Performance
Main features:
* User created configurations to quickly run, re-run and analyze a selected
subset of tests.
* Supports both benchmarking with existing builds, and automatic building of
specified git commits, tags and branches.
* Generate HTML page with bar and line graphs from test results.
* Controlled using simple command line tool.
* For writing tests, convenient abstraction to run a Python function in Blender
with arguments and return value.
