Ichthyostega 806db414dd Copyright: clarify and simplify the file headers
* Lumiera source code always was copyrighted by individual contributors
 * there is no entity "Lumiera.org" which holds any copyrights
 * Lumiera source code is provided under the GPL Version 2+

== Explanations ==
Lumiera as a whole is distributed under Copyleft, GNU General Public License Version 2 or above.
For this to become legally effective, the ''File COPYING in the root directory is sufficient.''

The licensing header in each file is not strictly necessary, yet considered good practice;
attaching a licence notice increases the likeliness that this information is retained
in case someone extracts individual code files. However, it is not by the presence of some
text, that legally binding licensing terms become effective; rather the fact matters that a
given piece of code was provably copyrighted and published under a license. Even reformatting
the code, renaming some variables or deleting parts of the code will not alter this legal
situation, but rather creates a derivative work, which is likewise covered by the GPL!

The most relevant information in the file header is the notice regarding the
time of the first individual copyright claim. By virtue of this initial copyright,
the first author is entitled to choose the terms of licensing. All further
modifications are permitted and covered by the License. The specific wording
or format of the copyright header is not legally relevant, as long as the
intention to publish under the GPL remains clear. The extended wording was
based on a recommendation by the FSF. It can be shortened, because the full terms
of the license are provided alongside the distribution, in the file COPYING.

/** @file gnuplot-gen.hpp
** Preconfigured setup for data visualisation with Gnuplot.
** The visualisation tool [gnuplot] allows for simple data visualisation
** in various formats, integrated into a *NIX commandline work environment.
**
** The namespace lib::gnuplot_gen allows to generate diagrams relying on
** some common layout schemes, which can be customised. Data is passed in
** as CSV string; the generated Gnuplot script adapts dynamically to the
** number of data columns given, where the first column always holds
** the common x-axis values. Additional parameters can be added to
** the _data binding_ used for script generation; this binding
** is comprised of key = value settings in a `Rec<GenNode>`
** (Lumiera's »ETD« format for structural data)
**
** @todo 3/2024 this is an initial draft, shaped by the immediate need to visualise
** [measurement data](\ref vault::gear::test::SchedulerStress_test) collected
** while testing the new [Scheduler](\ref scheduler.hpp) implementation.
**
** @see GnuplotGen_test
** @see SchedulerStress_test
** @see text-template.hpp
