# HPE Copyright Header Management

Ensure all source files have the required HPE copyright header to pass CI checks.

## Copyright Format

```
Copyright {start_year}-{end_year} Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP
```

- **start_year**: Year the file was created
- **end_year**: Current year (must be updated annually)
- **Placement**: First line of the file, as a comment

### Examples by Language

| Language | Copyright Line |
|----------|----------------|
| Python | `# Copyright 2024-2025 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP` |
| JavaScript/TypeScript | `// Copyright 2024-2025 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP` |
| Go | `// Copyright 2024-2025 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP` |
| SQL | `-- Copyright 2024-2025 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP` |
| HTML/XML | `<!-- Copyright 2024-2025 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP -->` |
| CSS | `/* Copyright 2024-2025 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP */` |

## Quick Reference

### Check all files (dry run)

```bash
python scripts/copyright_check.py /path/to/repo --dry-run
```

### Fix all files

```bash
python scripts/copyright_check.py /path/to/repo
```

### CI check mode (fails if issues found)

```bash
python scripts/copyright_check.py /path/to/repo --check-only
```

## Rules

1. **Missing header**: Add `Copyright CURRENT_YEAR-CURRENT_YEAR Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP`
2. **Outdated year**: Update only the second year to current year (e.g., `2024-2024` → `2024-2025`)
3. **Exclusions**: Respects both `.gitignore` and `.copyrightignore` files (gitignore-style patterns)

## Manual Fixes

When manually adding or fixing a copyright header:

1. Determine the correct comment syntax for the file type
2. Add as the **very first line** of the file
3. Use current year for both years if creating new: `Copyright 2025-2025 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP`
4. If updating existing, only change the second year

## Supported File Types

The script supports 50+ file extensions including:

- **Hash (#)**: `.py`, `.sh`, `.rb`, `.pl`, `.r`, `.jl`
- **Double-slash (//)**: `.js`, `.ts`, `.jsx`, `.tsx`, `.go`, `.c`, `.cpp`, `.java`, `.kt`, `.swift`, `.rs`
- **Dash-dash (--)**: `.sql`, `.lua`, `.hs`
- **Block comments**: `.html`, `.xml`, `.css`, `.vue`

## Exclusion Patterns

The script automatically reads patterns from both `.gitignore` and `.copyrightignore` in the repo root. Use `.copyrightignore` for additional exclusions specific to copyright checking:

```
# Directories
vendor/**
third_party/**

# File types not in .gitignore
*.generated.go

# Specific files
Makefile
```
