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.
The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
A continuation of previous fix for malloc hooks which got removed
from the new glibc library.
The pre-compiled jemalloc has definitions which interpose hooks
in glibc leading to linking errors with multiple hook definitions.
A simple fix is to skip doing the workaround when using jemalloc
from pre-compiled libraries.
This will likely be revisited in the future, but for now it is
important to fix compilation errors for developers.
Starting from GLibC 2.34, deprecated `__malloc_hook` & co. have been
removed from headers, while still present in the shared library itself.
This means that it is no more possible to build Blender with USD 22.03
on recent linux systems.
While USD 22.08 has a fix to this issue, it is unlikely to be upgraded
for Blender 3.4, and definitely not for Blender 3.3.
This commit ensures Blender can build with USD 22.03 and glibc >= 2.34.

Patch by @brecht, many thanks.
Checking for the existence of and using __GLIBC_PREREQ can't be done in the
same conditional.

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.

- Nest compositor pages under the compositor module
- Nest GUI, DNA/RNA & externformats modules under Blender.
- Remove modules from intern which no longer exist.
- Add intern modules (atomic, eigen, glew-mx, libc_compat, locale,
numaapi, rigidbody, sky, utfconv).
- Use 'intern_' prefix for intern modules since some of the modules
use generic terms such as locale & atomic.
Don't use -ffast-math functions for libc compatibility implementation, since
then the function ends up calling itself. This may not be ideal for performance
but should be insignificant in practice.
On Linux, precompiled libraries may be made with a glibc version that is
incompatible with the system libraries that Blender is built on. To solve
this we add a few -ffast-math symbols that can be missing.
