Sources: - [BSD 3-Clause License - SPDX](https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause.html) - [BSD 3-Clause License - OSI](https://opensource.org/license/bsd-3-clause) ## Scope This affects **699 files** across all modules (~1398 lines total, 2 lines per file). ## Question Would you like me to submit a PR to fix this? If yes: - Should I create one large PR with all 699 files? - Or split by modules (e.g., core, imgproc, dnn, video separately)? - Or is this change not desired? This is a legal/documentation correction to match the official BSD license text.
