Dear Chris,
shame and blame on me. I have now noticed that the wrong copyright notice
also appears in the about box of FreeMind, accessible from the menu Help >
About.
Could you please also correct all the things there, including:
(a) Year range,
(b) Copyright mark (see also the 0.9.0 series for how to enter the proper
copyright mark)
(c) The list of major contributors.
I do not know how to compensate you for this additional work, resulting from
my inattentive previous review.
Best regards,
Dan
