High Level Overview of Change
This change removes superfluous copyright notices in source and header files. It also provides a script to allow developers to replicate the changes in their local branch or fork to avoid conflicts.
Context of Change
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 (many thanks to Vinnie Falco and Howard Hinnant for being flexible), so the notice in the LICENSE.md file applies throughout. Copyright notices referencing external contributions, e.g. from Bitcoin, remain as-is. Duplicate verbiage is also removed.
Type of Change
.gitignore, formatting, dropping support for older tooling)
