This sentence is in the HDF5 COPYING file to acknowledge LBNL contributions to HDF5:
Limited portions of HDF5 were developed by Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory (LBNL). LBNL's Copyright Notice and Licensing Terms can be
found here: COPYING_LBNL_HDF5 file in this directory or at
http://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/COPYING_LBNL_HDF5.
As removal of contents of http://support.hdfgroup.org is planned, the link at the end of the sentence above will need to be replaced with a new link for a new location for the file COPYING_LBNL_HDF5.
The file exists in the hdf5 github repo at https://github.com/lrknox/hdf5/blob/develop/COPYING_LBNL_HDF5. Would this be a suitable replacement? Would it be acceptable to LBNL?
Copyright headers in the HDF5 source files name https://www.hdfgroup.org/licenses as an alternative location for the HDF5 COPYING file. Note that the COPYING file is also available in github at https://github.com/lrknox/hdf5/blob/develop/COPYING.
I would also assign this to Jo Eads, but I didn't find a github account for her. I'll email a link for the issue to her.
