copyright-regexp

[Miles Bader]

I have source files with copyright statements of the form:

   Copyright (C) Bozo Inc 2006, 2007

which copyright.el failed to recognize.

I fixed this by changing copyright-regexp in my emacs to be the following:

(defcustom copyright-regexp
 "\\(©\\|@copyright{}\\|[Cc]opyright\\s *:?\\s *\\(?:(C)\\)?\
\\|[Cc]opyright\\s *:?\\s *©\\)\
\\s *\\(?:[^0-9\n]*\\s *\\)?\
\\([1-9]\\([-0-9, ';/*%#\n\t]\\|\\s<\\|\\s>\\)*[0-9]+\\)"
  "What your copyright notice looks like.
The second \\( \\) construct must match the years."
  :group 'copyright
  :type 'regexp)

Does this seem ok?

Thanks,

-Miles

I've also seen something like the following already [1,2]:

   ;; Bozoup(P) 1995 The Bozo(tic) Softwar(e) Founda(t)ion, Inc.

If the above are the same bozos ;-) then I would say don't bother to
fix it.
