someone who knows law would need to decide if this is valid to modify or not. I am not qualified to make that statement.

@andrew or @emaste - are you able to weigh in on this point? I will drop the tweak otherwise.

I'm not convinced that this is a copyright violation of a magnitude to add all these holders here. They didn't contribute significant non-boilerplate portions of this file, so I worry that it would be misleading to have them here, but see below.

I'd not make this change. The vast majority of the copyright protectable parts of this file was developed by Andrew.

Instead, I'd add the following here like I've done when I've copied things in CAM, for example, acknowledging the copying

* This file derived from aesni_wrap.c:
* Copyright (C) 2008 Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>

I should have said 'the magnitude of the material copied' since I'm not trying to make a judgement one way or other whether this rises to a copyright violation, which is a legal term of art no body on this review is licensed to proffer.

Thank you for the advice, Warner. This seems like a sensible way to handle this type of case. I will update the review shortly.

I disagree w/ this statement. I would prefer:

Portions of this file are copied and modified from sys/crypto/aesni/aesni_wrap.c and subject to:

The more standard wording in the tree is 'derived from' which is why I suggested that.

The wording "and subject to" concerns me. I don't think it means anything legally here and I'd rather not imply they are 'subject to' a copyright without there being an attendant license statement.
A quick grep shows that we have about two dozen instances that use 'derived from' and none with the 'copied and modified' in the tree today.
There's also a smattering of other phrases like 'inspired by' and the like that I could quickly locate.
In code we've removed there was also "This software is a derivative work of if_ed.c version 1.56 by David Greenman" followed by his copyright for a similar copy but replace that's happened here.

The original license in aesni_wrap.c just says that the copyright needed to be preserved along with the disclaimer. Since this file is licensed under the same license, both those terms are satisfied by my suggestion. We should, imho, use the wording we use elsewhere here because the more variations we have in wording means more work for people doing license audits.

please include links to these examples of derived so I can compare wordings. I attempted to find derived from, but did not see any that resembled this wording.

The reason I included the subject to is that just because they are derived works does NOT remove their original copyright.

The originally the copyright was not preserved, which started this whole problem. If it had been retained like it was required, we wouldn't be here today.

Neither of us are lawyers, maybe you should get a lawyer to chime in on this, but IMO, the proposed derived from wording implied that the copyright does not apply any longer and I disagree w/ that.

So ~30 files that use some variation of this language. There's a few old drivers that we removed that used 'derived from' or 'derivative work' both of which are standard terms in this area. "subject to" is something I've not seen in the last 20 years of consulting on licenses and such. So while I'm not a lawyer, I think that experience is at least suggestive that we should avoid it. Neither of us being lawyers: you are right. However, your license didn't specify a wording, so using a similar wording to what we use elsewhere would make it easier for people. For these two reasons, I'd strongly suggest we use 'derived from' since in my opinion it matches the prior uses of this wording for what happened here.

The originally the copyright was not preserved, which started this whole problem. If it had been retained like it was required, we wouldn't be here today.

Note that it is restored to this file in the lines below. There was no specification as to where and how it must be preserved, and I maintain that these lines below restore that in a way that's compliant with the license.
