Campbell Barton e955c94ed3 License Headers: Set copyright to "Blender Authors", add AUTHORS
Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.

While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.

Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:

- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.

An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.

Design task: #110784

Blender Dev Tools
#################

This repository is intended for miscellaneous tools, utilities, configurations and
anything that helps with Blender development, but aren't directly related to building Blender.

Some of the tools included may be used stand-alone, others expect Blenders source code to be available.


Usage
=====

While this is a stand-alone repository,
some of the scripts which access Blenders source code assume this repository will be located at
``tools`` within Blenders source code repository. At some point this may be included as a submodule.

Some tools also rely on the ``blender`` binary, this is assumed to be located at: ``../../blender.bin``.
*The root directory of Blender's git repository*
