    Description

      Avro uses Doxygen to generate C# and C++ documentation. Doxygen is configured by a "Doxyfile" that appears to have been generated from a GPL licensed doc within Doxygen and then changed for the needs of the project. Can Avro use this Doxyfile, or should the project create a new Doxyfile with only the configuration options it needs and none of the comments from the configuration template?

      I should also note that while the source file has a GPL license header, the Doxyfile does not.

      Several other projects appear to use a similar Doxyfile, like ORC and Celix.
