Per XLS-0095, we are taking steps to rename ripple(d) to xrpl(d).
This change specifically removes all copyright notices referencing Ripple, XRPLF, and certain affiliated contributors upon mutual agreement, so the notice in the LICENSE.md file applies throughout. Copyright notices referencing external contributions remain as-is. Duplicate verbiage is also removed.
The existing license file contains copyright statements and license
snippets referencing code that has long since been removed from the
codebase and which are not necessary any longer.
The general copyright statement for the ISC License is also changed
from "Ripple Labs" which is one contributor to the codebase, to the
more general "XRP Ledger Developers".
Remaining code which was originally taken from Bitcoin includes the
relevant copyright statement(s) inline.
To aid in the automated detection of the license type by GitHub and
tools like `licensee`, the following statement which referenced the
ISC license, and which was listed at the bottom of the file, is now
incorporated at the top:
>The accompanying files incorporate work covered by the following copyright
>and previous license notice:
>
>Copyright (c) 2011 Arthur Britto, David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb,
>Vinnie Falco, Bob Way, Eric Lombrozo, Nikolaos D. Bougalis, Howard Hinnant
