Hi Leo,
I can get a formal opinion on this (Eclipse has lawyers on
staff), however here's my take on it:
1. If the doc page was updated with significant content
(e.g. actual new IP as opposed to minor edits like spelling, punctuation etc),
then the year 2005 should be added.
2. For pages where the content is generated by you/Intel
(as opposed to derivative works of the original IBM docs), then you should mark
them as copyright "Intel Corp and others"
If any pages contain significant content from both IBM and
Intel, then you could mark them as "Copyright IBM Corporation 2000,2004,
Copyright Intel Corp 2005"...
Hope this makes sense,
Sebastien
There are 2 loose ends that I
have. Here’s the first:
In the CDT user documentation,
most/all of the individual pages contain at the bottom:
“Copyright IBM Corporation and
others, 2000, 2004.”
Some also
contain:
“Copyright Red Hat 2003,
2004”
I have 2
questions:
1. Do the copyrights need to be
updated to 2005?
2. I’ve been adding new pages and
just copying the IBM copyright “pointer”. Should I go back and make
those pages:
“Copyright Intel Corporation and
others, 2005”?
Thanks,
Leo
