Re: [mdt-ocl.dev] Unwieldy Copyright Notices
|
Hi Ed,
I guess that there should be a policy which relates the copyright header.... Actually after a minute, I have found the following:
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/copyrightandlicensenotice.php
Which more or less align with your comments.
I suggest, leaving the copyright header as they are right now, so that future companies are not longer introduced. However, since some daily work is being sponsored by Open Canarias, I will add the company in parenthesis next to my -already long >.< - name, as it is pointed in the link above.
Cheers,
Adolfo.

Hi
We could easily find ourselves maintaining copyright notices such as
IBM Corporation, Zeligsoft Inc., Borland Software Corp., Obeo, Open Canarias, E.D.Willink and others
I think this is untenable and gets more so with each further team/employment change.
I feel that Christain made a mistake by adding Zeligsoft.
A plausible policy is that the Copyright is just to the initial contributor with everyone else thereafter "and others".
Zeligsoft should not have been added.
Another plausible policy is that a top line credit appears only once 10% of the useful line count is contributed.
Since we are now directed to make the Eclipse Modeling Project the plug-in provider, I propose that when
a non-trivial edit occurs the copyright is changed to "Eclipse Modeling Project and others". The list of
contributions; e.g. IBM - initial API and implementation provides adequate credit.
Regards
Ed Willink
