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 lifecycle.h
** Installing and invoking of application lifecycle event callbacks.
** This service is a facade for and implemented by the lumiera::LifecycleRegistry.
** By placing a static LifecycleHook variable or by calling LifecycleHook::add,
** a callback can be registered to be executed on a specific application lifecycle
** event. Examples being #ON_BASIC_INIT, #ON_GLOBAL_INIT. Other subsystems may
** register additional events for more specific purpose.

** @note the implementation resides in lib/lifecycle.cpp and gets linked into liblumiera.so

* define and register a callback for a specific lifecycle event.
* The purpose of this class is to be defined as a static variable in the implementation
* of some subsystem (i.e. in the cpp file), providing the ctor with the pointer to a
* callback function. Thus the specified callback gets enrolled when the corresponding
* object file is loaded. The event ON_BASIC_INIT is handled specifically, firing off the
* referred callback function as soon as possible. All other labels are just arbitrary (string)
* constants and it is necessary that "someone" cares to fire off the lifecycle events
* at the right place. For example, lumiera-main (and the test runner) calls
* \c LifecycleHook::trigger(ON_GLOBAL_INIT) (and..SHUTDOWN)
* @note duplicate or repeated calls with the same callback are NOP
