I had posed on the list "1955 - 1971, Fake Atom Enterprises" which obviously would be an invalid copyright used only for demonstration purposes. (for those unfamiliar, US Copyright law started in 1976, entities prior to that date wouldn't have been valid). US copyright laws started with authorization in the Constitution followed by enabling legislation shortly after Independence. US laws *changed* several times after that point. A particularly big change occurred in 1989 when the US entered the Berne convention by passing implementing legislation. Not sure what you could be thinking relative to 1976. Also, why make the example strange? Why not take a real copyright header for an example? > > On Jul 3, 2017 2:38 PM, "James Bognar" <jamesbog...@apache.org> wrote: > > > Need some quick guidance. > > > > On the release vote for Juneau 6.3.0, Justin Mclean made this note... > > "There's a number of "Copyright (c) 2016, Apache Foundation” in the > > documentation you may want to update the year." > > > > I tracked it down to sample code where the copyright statement itself was > > sample code.
