Come on, guys! Why not just relax and first come to decission about what copyright info style should be in Pacman - like in SDL or like in kernel & MPlayer?
In the first case there is standard copyright info for entire project, that repeats in _every_ file. Example: SuperProjectX. Copyright (C) 1997-2006, SomeCompany.
In the second case every file has its own copyright info. Example main.c: SuperProjectX. Copyright (C) 1997-2006, SomeCompany. some_functions.c: SuperProjectX. Copyright (C) 1997-2006, SomeCompany. SuperProjectX. SomeFunctions. Copyright (C) 1999-2004, good guy. Some megacool feature support - contriubuted by another good guy.
Then if you come to conclusion - there will be no misunderstandings about what to include and in which form. I don't think any of devs are very bothered with copyrights. There just should be standard policy about this.
exactly!
IMOHO... this is a *very* small disctration. I've been lurking here for a while under a huge rock, waiting for activity on pacman-3, and now when Aaron is ready to get things cranking to a release state, we're going to be side tracked by politics? meh! We're way cooler than this I believe.
Like Roman observed, there are _clearly_ two different approaches to things, and while Aurielen and Vmiklos took one approach, Aaron expects another approach.
IMOHO, Aaron, since you're right now incharge of the project, pick one Method and lets us live with it and move on to getting pacman out the door, its been waaaay too long in development already i think (though the method you pick does not have to be the one you really like, considering the work vmiklos and co have done, in the end, both methods work, various projects use either).
+1. I could not say anything better, i make our words mine.
/me silently goes back to lurking under said HugeRock(tm)
/me too :o)
