There's two ways we could do this: 1) Copyright everything 'as one' with '1997-releasedate' (or whenever one wants to consider that we "started", svn started in 2000 but there was a CVS before that). 2) Copyright file-by-file with 'creationdate-releasedate' Tradition in Geotools is the latter, so, for any file added since 2000, svn log should give the origin. The real script we should have should probably be in python and use the svn-python bindings to get that initial date, but who has the time for that, hein? --adrian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
