Philippe Teuwen 014817f854 Adding AUTHORS and changing licensing terms from 'GPLv2 or later' to 'GPLv3 or later' to comply with components available only under 'GPLv3 or later'. Details: 
Initial releases by Jonathan Westhues in 2005-2007 were made under GPL
"either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version"

Since then, a number of dependencies and files were integrated to the project, but under a "GPLv3 or later" license. These components are reveng, desfire_crypto and lrpcrypto. Note that compnents cryptorf, hitag2crack and fpga-xc3s100e are also under GPLv3+ but not bound to the firmware or client source code.

Therefore, we must mechanically upgrade the license of the whole project to GPLv3+, as made possible by the initial licensing terms and as mandated by the inclusion of GPLv3+ code.

Still to do: update each source file header:

Raw Blame History

Initial author of the Proxmark3 code is Jonathan Westhues, starting in August 2005.
His latest release was done in May 2007 and is available here (copy available here).

Initial copyright notice is therefore:
Copyright (C) 2005-2005 Jonathan Westhues

Since then, each contribution is under the copyright of its respective author.

A few releases were done by the Proxmark community between 2007 and March 2009 before using version control.
The last one which served as basis for version control, under SVN then migrated to Git, was the 20090306_ela release by Edouard Lafargue. See the first commit of this repository.

Since then, each contribution is tracked by the Git history. See the output of git shortlog -nse for a full list. See also the Contributors page on Github.
