Subject: Feedback on etc/* documents, mostly copyrights
Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 13:11:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <17515.33670.898487.639253@chlr5836.ch.intel.com> (raw)
1. The first line of etc/NEWS has a spurious date in it:
GNU Emacs NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. 2003-05-21
^^^^^^^^^^
2. Is there a reason that
etc/NEWS,MH-E-NEWS,GNUS-NEWS,DEBUG,DISTRIB,GNU,
have copyright date lines, but
etc/MORE.STUFF,PROBLEMS,TODO,CENSORSHIP,MACHINES,grep.txt,compilation.txt,
MAILINGLISTS,ETAGS.EBNF,.arch-inventory,HELLO,SERVICE,Xkeymap.txt,ctags.1,
emacs.csh,ledit.l,ms-7bkermit,ses-example.ses,ulimit.hack,MOTIVATION,LPF,
TERMS,WHY-FREE,README,ORDERS,FTP
do not?
There are also files with older than 2006 copyrights (see #3-11).
If there is a good reason for these, maybe there should be some way
that a batch copyright-update process could DTRT if run on the
whole directory.
3. Is there a reason the -*-outline-*- in the first line of etc/TODO
is so far to the right side? It may because it was copied from
etc/ERC.
4. The Copyright in etc/INTERVIEW is only 1986
5. The Copyright in etc/COPYING is 1981,1991
6. etc/enriched.doc has 1995, 1997 dates but not a real copyright line
7. ONEWS and ONEWS.1-4 have older copyright dates.
8. OTHER.EMACSES has a 1985 copyright date
9. ledit.l - There are no descriptive comments
at the top. I do see it mentioned in LEDIT.
10. ms-kermit has May 13, 1990 date but no copyright.
11. LINUX-GNU has a 1996, 2002 copyright
12. It's hard to believe spook.lines hasn't been updated since 1999.
