Google advises its employees to add Google Inc. as an author, but that hasn't
been done yet and would be super inconvenient. So instead I've refactored the
file to refer to "The JsonCpp Authors", which are listed in the AUTHORS file.
The AUTHORS file itself is generated via:
git log --pretty="%an <%ae>%n%cn <%ce>" | sort | uniq
Plus the addition of "Google Inc." as a copyright author. (Google owns the work
of anyone contributing from an @google.com address, for example.)
The list contains some probable duplicates where people have used more than one
email address. I didn't deduplicate because -- well, who's to say they're
duplicates, anyway? :)

The MIT license is compatible with both the GPL and commercial

software, affording one all of the rights of Public Domain with the

minor nuisance of being required to keep the above copyright notice

and license text in the source code. Note also that by accepting the
|
|
Public Domain "license" you can re-license your copy using whatever
|
|
license you like.
