As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
The loaders have been generated through hpvb's dynload-wrapper, although
they had to be heavily handpatched to workaround some already reported
issues with it. I added a note to each generated file to account for
that.
As GLAD uses X11 stuff directly, I had to define the GLAD_GLX_NO_X11
macro to not let do it that, and handle myself the display loading and
screen handling part myself, which wasn't that hard but it's still
something worth saying.
I plan to improve greatly the X11 backend (including this aspect) but,
as the release isn't that far and I'm also working on the Wayland
backend, this will do for now, I hope.
This is accomplished through the addition of a GLAD GLX loader in the
`thirdparty` directory.
This is another step towards a nice Wayland/X11 interoperation.
