A couple more things. While it does appear likely--based on git
history--that Daniel Spreadbury created this particular file, he has not
placed a particular copyright on it. The specification as a whole, on the
other hand, is copyright "the Contributors to the Standard Music Font
Layout Specification" (see
https://w3c.github.io/smufl/gitbook/preamble/license.html).

On top of that, the W3C Final Specification Agreement (FSA) at
https://www.w3.org/community/about/process/final/, section 2, seems to say
that an author attribution is unnecessary, only requiring we mention the
standard's name and version (i.e. Standard Music Font Layout version 1.3).
My legalese isn't that great, though, so I'd appreciate a second pair of
eyes to make sure.

Ah! I looked more closely and it looks like the current version is only
under the W3C Final Specification Agreement. Sorry for the bother.

Here's another stab at glyphnames.json.txt, given all this new information:

glyphnames.json is a part of the Standard Music Font Layout (SMuFL)
specification, version 1.3. It was retrieved from
https://github.com/w3c/smufl on 29 Aug 2020, and is licensed under the
W3C Final Specification Agreement, found at
https://www.w3.org/community/about/process/final/.

What do you think?
