Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
We do not require copyright assignment for contributions to CMake.
Update the top-level notice to mention "Contributors" explicitly.
Add a list of the Contributors whose names already appear in
source-level copyright notices. Find the list with the command:
$ git grep -h 'Copyright[^.]' -- *.* \
Auxiliary Modules Packaging Source Templates Tests \
| grep -v Kitware | sed 's/^#\? *//' | sort | uniq
Manually refine the list to de-duplicate entries and filter out
notices from third-party code.
The installer should not put up a message box to confirm uninstall of a
previous version for silent installs. Furthermore, when the uninstaller
is invoked, do not show its confirmation dialog because either (a) the
installer already asked the user or (b) the installer is running in
silent mode.

89043267 server-mode: Add command to compute the build system

Fortran INCLUDE statements are not handled by the preprocessor.
Since the location of the preprocessed file is distinct from the
original source file explicitly add the source file's directory
as an include path in the actual compile step (not the preprocessing step)
so INCLUDE can find it.
Closes: #16332
This method is used by directory get/set APIs. With the new
`SUBDIRECTORIES` and `BUILDSYSTEM_TARGETS` methods projects may now make
heavy use of these APIs to traverse their directory structure and
process targets. Make this faster by indexing the directory lookups.
Add a command to trigger cmake to configure a project.
Keep this separate from the compute step (added in the next commit)
to faciliate applications like cmake-gui.
Add "globalSettings" command that returns:
* Return capability information
* Return currently used generator/extra generator
* Return a range of flags for debug/trace/etc.
The basic codelite generator creates .project files based on the
`project()` stanza. Add a `CMAKE_CODELITE_USE_TARGETS` option to use
the targets instead.
