And i'm just a second year law student (though i've taken and passed copyright law), and THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE (sorry, the bar is *extremely* touchy on unauthorized practice of law)Andrew Cagney asks:It occured to me though, can the (C) update be left until just before a
branch and made part of the release process? It might make everyones
life easier (well ignoring the release manager :-).
I am not a lawyer, just an engineer armchair lawyer wannabe.
I'd agree.I think that the daily snapshots constitute publication of the work, especially since we give public notice of them on http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current.
Just to be pragmatic, notice hasn't been required for a few years now, in order to have a valid copyright. It's specifically *not* required anymore (as part of the Berne convention implementation)Could you ARI the copyrights? Something like: if the file has been modified since 2002-12-31, and the file has a "copyright" line in it, then "2003" must appear on the copyright line or the line after that.
