Yes, this is fine. Presumably cc-mode was released as a separate package several times before it was added to Emacs. So in 1992 the header may have looked like: 1985, 1987, 1992 John Smith Then when the copyright got assigned to the FSF in 1992, this changes to become: 1985, 1987, 1992 FSF The older years do not get removed, you just change the copyright holder. > Q. to RMS: What *should* the header for t-mouse.el look like? > > Currently: > > ;; Copyright (C) 1994,1995 Alessandro Rubini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > ;; parts are by Ian T Zimmermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 1995,1998 > ;; Copyright (C) 2006 > ;; Free Software Foundation, Inc. If I may answer, then normally you remove the old names and replace them with FSF, but keep the old dates. So it would look like: 1994, 1995, 1998, 2006 FSF I suppose there are corner cases when things may be different. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
