grn(1): Revise copyright notice.
Ratchet back ending year of FSF copyright notice to 2000, reflecting the
date of the last "legally significant"[1] contribution to this file by
anyone who has executed a copyright assignment with the FSF, which was
commit a75cf74b60, 2000-02-20, by Werner Lemberg.
Add copyright notice for Daniel Senderowicz, who appears to have no
copyright assignment with the FSF on file.
Justification (year, commit ID, summary, net lines added by commit):
2020 f6a4a18d97 ... Added info about the gremlin file format (+240)
Add copyright notice for myself. I have never executed copyright
assignment paperwork with the FSF, so my "legally significant"[ibid.]
changes to this file can't be under the FSF's copyright.
Justification (year, commit ID, summary, net lines added by commit):
2024 89283b0935 Make more commands' exit status 2 on usage error. (+15)
2023 a9767ace3d [man pages]: Define page-local `MR` fallback. (+15)
2020 048f3d7d60 man pages: Fix style nits. (+18)
2020 8457d9dba3 man pages: Regularize synopses. (+16)
(Bernd Warken's commit 62998feb44, 2014-09-17, is a sadly complex case.
It adds 164 lines net, which would be "legally significant", but is
summarized as "Improve the license information", which would vitiate
that significance. However, the committed change does not restrict
itself to that purpose. It also adds comment banners and empty requests
and makes other cosmetic changes, like changing the locations of input
line breaks without altering the text around them. I think the balance
of the analysis is solidly against significance, but a good commit
discipline relieves maintainers of having to undertake it.)
