Has been suggested to use the output of annotate as a guide; that would mean that only the *remaining* code is copyrightable. Is that so? What I mean is, if someone made a significant change to foo.el in 2003, and some other people did another significant change to foo.el in 2005, so there's no remaining code in foo.el from the 2003 change, should the copyright be "2003, 2005" or just "2005"? I think is the later (otherwise it would be imposible to expurge files from unwanted, non-GPLed material that entered by accident), but I want to be sure. --=20 /L/e/k/t/u
