Remove Microsoft's copyright notice from type definition file
Bug Report
Problem
The start of your TypeScript type definitions file contains a copyright notice claiming that it belongs to Microsoft:
// Type definitions for Apache Cordova File System plugin
// Project: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file
// Definitions by: Microsoft Open Technologies Inc <http://msopentech.com>
// Definitions: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped
//
// Copyright (c) Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.
// Licensed under the MIT license.
I suspect this is a copy-and-paste-mistake. You should correct it. You may also want to remove the outdated link to the DefinitelyTyped repo.
What's the problem here? License is in tact, and the code is licensed under MIT. Removing the copyright notice would be violating the license.
I’ll search the commits later, but indeed Microsoft originally authored those files. They were split from DefinetlyTyped to the actual software projects.
@purplecabbage Are you able to provide insight on this issue regarding code licensed/owned by a third-party?
