Hi Tomasz,
Related to the Copyright year update (2017 -> 2018), I am definitely not right
person for legal issues,
but as far as I know that year indicates the year that copyright starts, I
assume you don't want to start your copyright from beginning 2018 but you want
to extend it, for that case year part should be "start - extended", like:
# Copyright(c) 2017-2018 Marvell International Ltd.
cc'ed Hemant who know more than me about licensing.
Well, as a DPDK contribution it is upto Marvell/Semihalf to change it.
However, Ferruh made a good suggestion here.
if nothing important is added, ideally the copyright year should not
change. So, don't change the copyright year or make it "Copyright(c)
2017-2018" . It is not good for Marvell/Semihalf to just relinquish the
2017 copyright for no good reason.
Regards,
Hemant
Thanks,
ferruh
