Consider adding GPLv3 licensing to Makefiles about os HOT 7 CLOSED

Yes, we should do this. The fancy sed expression I created worked well for the .c, .h, .S, and .ck files, but didn't catch the Makefiles.

I can try to put a patch together for this if you'd like.

Yes, go ahead Jonathan.

@evangreen Sorry this took long. I ran into some issues but I finally managed to resolve them. I've created #52 with my patch. Here are the comments in my patch that someone might find useful in the future..

Since I'm using Mac OS X (10.11), I hard to learn the hard way that BSD and GNU sed treated newlines differently. I read about the difference between GNU and BSD sed thanks to a very helpful SO comment that explained the differences and solution.

The solution was to simply use GNU sed instead (pun intended) by installing it via Homebrew:

brew install gnu-sed

Using that along with find, allowed me to search through every file and call gsed:

find ./ -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/foo/bar/g' {} \;

Eventually I ended up with this regex:

find ./ -type f -exec gsed -i "s/Copyright (c) 2012 Minoca Corp. All Rights Reserved/Copyright (c) 2012 Minoca Corp.\n#\n#    This file is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License\n#    version 3. Alternative licensing terms are available. Contact\n#    [email protected] for details. See the LICENSE file at the root of this\n#    project for complete licensing information.\n#/" {} \;

Notes: I've replaced the copyright for each year with the GPL eqivalent with the same. i.e Copyright for 2012 gets a GPL since 2012, etc.

Awesome. This change looks good, I will merge it in soon. Thanks!
