Subject: Clarification of adding years to copyright notices
Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2005 16:15:26 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1EkpaQ-0005u1-PV@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
We've clarified one paragraph to answer the uncertainties that
were expressed here a few days ago.
To update the list of year numbers, add each year in which you have
made nontrivial changes to the package. (Here we assume you're using
a publicly accessible revision control server, so that every revision
installed is also immediately and automatically published.) Several
trivial changes that add up to a nontrivial change do count as such.
When you add the new year, you should add it in the copyright notice
of each file of the package.
