Since the Cogl 1.18 branch is actively maintained in parallel with the
master branch; this is a counter part to commit 1b83ef938fc16b which
re-licensed the master branch to use the MIT license.
This re-licensing is a follow up to the proposal that was sent to the
Cogl mailing list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001465.html
Note: there was a copyright assignment policy in place for Clutter (and
therefore Cogl which was part of Clutter at the time) until the 11th of
June 2010 and so we only checked the details after that point (commit
0bbf50f905)
For each file, authors were identified via this Git command:
$ git blame -p -C -C -C20 -M -M10 0bbf50f905..HEAD
We received blanket approvals for re-licensing all Red Hat and Collabora
contributions which reduced how many people needed to be contacted
individually:
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001470.html
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January/001536.html
Individual approval requests were sent to all the other identified authors
who all confirmed the re-license on the Cogl mailinglist:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January
As well as updating the copyright header in all sources files, the
COPYING file has been updated to reflect the license change and also
document the other licenses used in Cogl such as the SGI Free Software
License B, version 2.0 and the 3-clause BSD license.
This patch was not simply cherry-picked from master; but the same
methodology was used to check the source files.
The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib
data types such as gint or gchar etc because we feel that they make the
code look unnecessarily foreign to developers coming from outside of the
Gnome developer community.
Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we
just found that they were apparently only added for consistent syntax
highlighting which didn't seem that compelling.
Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform
specific type such as gint{8,16,32,64} and gsize but this patch switches
us over to using the standard c99 equivalents instead so we can further
ensure that our code looks familiar to the widest range of C developers
who might potentially contribute to Cogl.
So instead of using the gint{8,16,32,64} and guint{8,16,32,64} types this
switches all Cogl code to instead use the int{8,16,32,64}_t and
uint{8,16,32,64}_t c99 types instead.
Instead of gsize we now use size_t
For now we are not going to use the c99 _Bool type and instead we have
introduced a new CoglBool type to use instead of gboolean.

(cherry picked from commit 5967dad2400d32ca6319cef6cb572e81bf2c15f0)
To allow us to have gobject properties that accept a CoglMatrix value we
need to register a GType. This adds a cogl_gtype_matrix_get_type function
that will register a static boxed type called "CoglMatrix".
This adds a new section to the reference manual for GType integration
functions.
