We should probably be careful here in that notice to make sure it's abundantly accurate. Specifically, it would be better if we were clearer about the years. For example, I am quite sure Erik hasn't made any contributions in 2012, and maybe not in 2011 either. It should probably be something like: "Copyright (C) 1998-<SOME_YEAR> Erik Andersen, (C) SOME_YEAR-SOME_YEAR Rob Landley, (C) SOME_YEAR-2012 Denys Vlasenko." The other issue here is whether we should do some sort of "... and the rest" thing here to note that lots of other people besides those three hold copyright here too. We originally added this notice to make sure that when people violate the GPL, that a copyright notice would clearly be in the binary and make it more blatant. I still like having it, but I want to make sure it's accurate, and I realize making it longer might be really annoying due to byte-count. I'm open to ideas here. -- -- bkuhn _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
