BJ,
Yes I saw your change when I merged So, this file has 2009 in it.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=772914&view=rev
And now no OFBiz proper files has still 2008 in it but LICENCE and NOTICE which I'm working on because of the future Axis2 component
integration...
So I'm not sure what you want to do with the 2 others ;o)
Thanks
Jacques
From: "BJ Freeman" <[email protected]>
the jira for ModelInduceFromDb.jsp already has it in it
if you want I can do the other two and include them in the same jira
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2432
Jacques Le Roux sent the following on 5/9/2009 5:38 AM:
I have finally reverted r772941 at r773211
To be consistent, I have replaced 2009 by ${nowTimestamp?string("yyyy")}
in specialpurpose/cmssite/template/ofbiz/ofbizFooter.ftl at r773216
If someone is interested, I did not take the time to think about
ModelInfo.java
ModelWriter.jsp
ModelInduceFromDb.jsp

I had a look, in US seems to be 95 or 120 years in our case <<If a
work of corporate authorship, 95 years from publication or 120
years from creation, whichever expires first>>
What is less clear to me is if a release is a publication and if
creation is begining with Undersun or Apache Era (I guess Apache
Era)... Moreover things are not the same in EU, etc.
Headache :/
I think you are right David. We should simplify our work and use
automatic date copyright generation for all artifacts generated.
If someone has a better understanding of all these things please chime
in, I give up!

Yes, we do need an end date (or not start date). Copyright
protection has a limited time period, I believe something like 10
years for things like this. Because of that copyright holders have
an incentive to update the copyright date as they release
new editions.
In EU seems to be 70 years (IANAL), anyway I understand why people
update the copyright now. But are we sure that a new edition
allows to break the 10-70 years ?
Again, please keep in mind the difference between a copyright
message for a specific file in the project, and a copyright
message that represents that output generated by the system (which
copyright is typically customized when the system is
deployed, BTW).
I see the difference, but is this legal ? What does it means ? If
OFBiz is still used in 2100 but not updated since 2050, this
means that the generated outputs are still protected but not the
software itself !?
The files changed here are for the copyright statements which cover
generated output, so the substantial change issue is
satisfied, and in fact it has nothing to do with it because each
page generated is a unique work and not tied to a previous
page.
Are you sure we legally able to differentiate the work (OFBiz) and
its generated outputs ?
In the headers for each file in the project what really should
happen is that people update the copyright date when they make
substantial changes to each file. Trying to remember that and keep
track of it is not terribly likely and is a real pain as
another thing on top of dozens already for people to remember.
I have already forgotten, what were you speaking about ? ;p
The best solution for those headers (which again has nothing to do
with this particular commit) is probably to do a review once
a year of all files with more than X lines (probably 5-10) of
changes, and then update the headers on those (if they haven't
already been updated).
Yes sounds like a good policy

Finally I wonder now if we really need to put and end date there...!
Maybe David Goodenough can enlighten us ?

I think we should undo this change. The dynamic dates represented
here do not copyright the files that the code is in, they
copyright what the code produces, and that is constantly
changing so the dynamic date is appropriate.

copyrighted item gets updated."
