How to attribute copyright LICENSE?
I would like to reuse some of the example code in this repo but noticed that the license asks me to refer to the copyright holder following this template:
Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]
Who would be the appropriate copyright owners? Maybe "The rules_foreign_cc developers"?
IANAL but it seems this isn't an easy one to answer; from https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_foreign_cc/blob/e3699b940f5965c5ad56d35b322fa2b11e4452f7/CONTRIBUTING.md contributors have signed up to the Google CLA which leaves copyright assignment to the authors of the contributions but grants Google a right to use the copyright in the context of this project. I'd suggest reaching out to the Google OSPO (https://opensource.google/about) to ask for clarification as they ultimately own all the projects under the bazelbuild github org.
