RE: [cdt-dev] Copyright updates, redux

[Doug Schaefer <DSchaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Great point. At this stage of the game, I'd just let the tool decide what to
do. Since the file did change to for the new license, you could say the
copyright should be updated as well, i.e. to copyright the line with the new
licence notice ;).

Subject: RE: [cdt-dev] Copyright updates, redux

Before performing the update, I'd like to clarify one thing:
Should the CPL to EPL copyright update be taken into account while
fixing the revision year, e.g. the last functionality change in the file
was performed in the 2004, and the only change in 2005 was the CPL to
EPL header fix, should the revision year be 2004 or 2005?

I'm asking because we did not change the revision year when we performed
the CPL-to-EPL copyright fix in 2005, and I assumed that this was the
right thing to do, but as for now, I can see a lot of files with updated
revision dates to 2005 because of the CPL-to-EPL copyright fix performed
in 2005, although no functionality was changed for those files since
2004 or earlier.

Importance: High

Hello everyone,

Our last build (Monday the 26th) is fast approaching.  I haven't seen
large
scale checkins of updates to copyrights when synchronizing CVS.  I would
like to get a roll call as to who is updating appliccable copyrights for
each company contributing code to 3.1.

Specifically, your company should make sure that the copyrights on any
files your company initially contributed are correct, regardless of
whether
or not your company modified the file since the last time the copyright
was
updated.  This is a fairly easy job if you use the platform's releng
tool
and change the company name it looks for from IBM to whatever the name
of
your company is.

I have taken care of the IBM stuff, and the stuff I did while at TI
required no updates.

Can I please get a volunteer from each of:

Intel
Nokia
QNX
Siemens
Wind River

to update appliccable copyrights and/or sign off on the fact that they
need
no further updates?

We cannot release without the copyrights being properly updated, if so
required.

Thanks for your help,
