From @frans-ebu suggestions in email regarding copyright:
-
New contributions should have the new contributors' copyright included:
-- Completely new (e.g. Dolby) contributions should thus include a Dolby copyright header and the BSD-3 clause text.
-- When changes are made to existing (e.g. BBC originated) files, both the original (e.g. BBC) and new (e.g. Dolby) copyright information should be included.
-
It would be helpful to make this explicit in CONTRIBUTING.md.
-- Spell out bmx is under BSD-3 and contributing means the contributor agrees with this.
-- Note the contributor should add (not remove) copyright lines as relevant.
-- Point out the contributor must be sure he is allowed to contribute the code (own work or work compatible with BSD-3 already).

Related: may be useful to also mandate the use of DCOs ("git commit -s")?
