Closes#11029
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Prior to this change if the user wanted to signal an error from their
write callbacks they would have to use logic to return a value different
from the number of bytes (nmemb) passed to the callback. Also, the
inclination of some users has been to just return 0 to signal error,
which is incorrect as that may be the number of bytes passed to the
callback.
To remedy this the user can now return CURL_WRITEFUNC_ERROR instead.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/9874
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
- avoid writing "set ..." or "enable/disable ..." or "specify ..."
*All* options for curl_easy_setopt() are about setting or enabling
things and most of the existing options didn't use that way of
description.
- start with lowercase letter, unless abbreviation. For consistency.
- Some additional touch-ups
Closes#7688
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
