Bonnie,
Re: adding a Sun copyright: there are no hard and fast rules. When working
with third-party projects, we should try to adhere to the culture of that
project. And often, copyrights are not added unless the change is deemed
significant in terms of size or complexity. Most of the people I have talked
with in the past have suggested being conservative in this arena (i.e., only
add a Sun copyright for something truly substantive).
FYI, I think part of the confusion in this discussions stems from decisions
that have previously been made within Sun about adding copyrights and
updating the year in a copyright. To keep things completely simple wrt to
process instructions, 'significant' changes are defined as changes that
result in a change to the object code and changes to comments that are
significant enough to be considered documentation.
Bottom line - the project members should make a call.
Thanks for the clarification.
