Bart 1d42c4f6de refactor: Remove unnecessary copyright notices already covered by LICENSE.md (#5929)
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.

Renaming ripple(d) to xrpl(d)

In the initial phases of development of the XRPL, the open source codebase was called "rippled" and it remains with that name even today. Today, over 1000 nodes run the application, and code contributions have been submitted by developers located around the world. The XRPL community is larger than ever. In light of the decentralized and diversified nature of XRPL, we will rename any references to ripple and rippled to xrpl and xrpld, when appropriate.

See here for more information.

Scripts

To facilitate this transition, there will be multiple scripts that developers can run on their own PRs and forks to minimize conflicts. Each script should be run from the repository root.

  1. .github/scripts/rename/definitions.sh: This script will rename all definitions, such as include guards, from RIPPLE_XXX and RIPPLED_XXX to XRPL_XXX.
  2. .github/scripts/rename/copyright.sh: This script will remove superflous copyright notices.

You can run all these scripts from the repository root as follows:

./.github/scripts/rename/definitions.sh .
./.github/scripts/rename/copyright.sh .
