I was aware of that, but thanks for the reminder. > If you are interested, we can run build-aux/update-copyright from > gnulib in order to achieve that action (it also has the benefit of > normalizing copyrights into a consistent format). Some of the scripts in Libtool require (or required at some point) non-wrapping of some copyright lines in order for --version to work. I went the lazy way and just reused the respective commit from last year, rather than finding out whether update-copyright would have broken things or not. I don't care all that much whether we update all copyright entries in Libtool now or not; if the others prefer this, and the script doesn't break --version, sure why not. For Automake, I think changing 700 test files even though most of them won't be changed this year (unless we finally move to GPLv3+) seems like unneeded work (besides, it would break my pending patch for the GPL bump ;-) Thanks, Ralf
