Sync? If somebody is changing the header of a file, it shouldn't interfere with anything you're doing within the file. Before you commit, you'll just do a "cvs update" and CVS will merge the license change into your files. The only way that you'll see a problem is if *two* people try to change the headers. Then you'll get a merge conflict in the headers, *maybe*. CVS is also pretty good about seeing that a change made on the server is equal to what you did in your local working copy. For Apache HTTPD, one person volunteered and then proceeded to relicense the whole codebase over a day or two. I didn't hear of any problems, and we certainly din't have a "sync day". The tools take care of this for you. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
