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.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
This uses the changes from ef68a37e5d to create IDProperties
for exposed boolean sockets with a boolean type instead of an integer
with a [0,1] range. Existing properties and values are converted
automatically.
For forward compatibility, the properties are switched to the integer
type for saving. Otherwise older versions crash immediately when opening
a newer file. The "Use Attribute" IDProperties aren't changed here,
since that wouldn't have a visible benefit.

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.
See P2788 for the script that automated these edits.

Object/collection asset workflow would need the bounding box for snapping.
The bounding box is stored using ID properties in the scene. Currently ID properties
aren't stored in the asset index, what would break object snapping. For this reason
Asset Indexing is turned off in mater. This patch will introduce the indexing of ID
properties what will allow the indexing to be turned on again.
## Data Mapping ##
For data mapping we store the internal structure of IDProperty to the indexer (including meta-data) to be able to deserialize it back.
```
[
{
"name": ..,
"value": ..,
"type": ..,
/* `subtype` and `length` are only available for IDP_ARRAYs. */
"subtype": ..,
},
]
```
| **DNA** | **Serialize type** | **Note** |
| IDProperty.name | StringValue| |
| IDProperty.type | StringValue| "IDP_STRING", "IDP_INT", "IDP_FLOAT", "IDP_ARRAY", "IDP_GROUP", "IDP_DOUBLE"|
| IDProperty.subtype | StringValue| "IDP_INT", "IDP_FLOAT", "IDP_GROUP", "IDP_DOUBLE" |
| IDProperty.value | StringValue | When type is IDP_STRING |
| IDProperty.value | IntValue | When type is IDP_INT |
| IDProperty.value | DoubleValue | When type is IDP_FLOAT/IDP_DOUBLE |
| IDProperty.value | ArrayValue | When type is IDP_GROUP. Recursively uses the same structure as described in this section. |
| IDProperty.value | ArrayValue | When type is IDP_ARRAY. Each element holds a single element as described in this section. |
NOTE: IDP_ID and IDP_IDARRAY aren't supported. The entry will not be added.
Example
```
[
{
"name": "MyIntValue,
"type": "IDP_INT",
"value": 6,
},
{
"name": "myComplexArray",
"type": "IDP_ARRAY",
"subtype": "IDP_GROUP",
"value": [
[
{
"name": ..
....
}
]
]
}
]
```
## Considered alternatives ##
- Add conversion functions inside `asset_indexer`; makes generic code part of a specific solution.
- Add conversion functions inside `BLI_serialize`; would add data transformation responsibilities inside a unit that is currently only responsible for formatting.
- Use direct mapping between IDP properties and Values; leads to missing information and edge cases (empty primitive arrays) that could not be de-serialized.
