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.
if the first case means something like "Copyright (C) 2002-2006, The Pacman Team.", then it sounds ok to me Judd, what is your opinion? :) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
