Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-5467:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for catching this, Kristian. I think that the end year in the copyright
notice should be changed to be the ${copyright.year} variable. That variable is
updated when the release manager builds a release candidate. IANAL but I don't
think we will lose any legal protections if we automatically update the end
year even when nothing visible has changed. Thanks.

> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Javadoc
> Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0
> Reporter: Kristian Waagan
>
> The ending year in the copyright notice used in the API documentation hasn't
> been updated. Currently the year 2007 or 2008 is being used.
> Manually modifying the copyright notice is trivial, but has to be done once a
> year. It may be possible to automate this (i.e. use current year, or the year
> of the last change in the code repository?).
> Out of curiosity, should the year be updated even if no changes have been
> made? (somewhat relevant if we decide to automate the update)
