On the front page of the FreeBSD Handbook the copyright notice reads:"Copyright © 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 The FreeBSD Documentation Project" This seems excessively long. Is there a reason why it just doesn't simply read: "Copyright © 1995-2011 The FreeBSD Documentation Project" This seems more readable. The former is running off the end of the page and is starting to look cluttered. Unless there is some legal reason I'm not aware of listing each year in order seems unnecessary.
Signatories of the Berne Convention, including the United States and almost all civilized countries, do not require the notice at all. As a reminder to nice people, the shorter form would surely do. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
