[ruby-core:113454] Re: [Ruby master Bug#16820] LEGAL is out of sync

I know this is closed=E2=80=A6 but spotted this one and I thought it worth =
a look.

In particular, I looked into benchmark and the shootout=E2=80=A6.

I found an archive in the wayback machine, which may provide some data to
update LEGAL with a bit more data:

https://web.archive.org/web/20010606133226/http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shoo=
tout/bench/strcat/

According to this (
https://web.archive.org/web/20010418111739/http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shoo=
tout/ack.shtml)
it seems the venerable Dave Thomas contributed to a bunch of the ruby
versions :)


Another/followup version is here:

/


And then there are a few examples where MIT or other known licenses are in
use for files, with just the copyright changing. Is it valuable to
reproduce them over and over in LEGAL? Or would perhaps a
yaml/json/something manifest outlining each file, copyright and license be
potentially more useful?

I know it=E2=80=99s not really high priority, but figured it might be worth=
 making
it a little more accurate as Jeremy=E2=80=99s point stands- it does current=
ly
assert that anything not identified properly in that file belongs to Matz,
which is a bit =C2=AF\_(=E3=83=84)_/  =E2=80=94 not great, not evil, just n=
ot perfect. =F0=9F=99=82
