Hello: I would like to merge 'ayardley/upd_copyrights' if there are no objections.
The branch adds 'tools/dev/upd_copyrights.pl', a script to update all of the copyright notices throughout the repo.[1] It also updates the copyright notices of most, again, with a handful of exceptions, of the files throughout the repo. For example, it updates copyright notices like the following from, Copyright (C) 2001-2011, Parrot Foundation. to, Copyright (C) 2001-2012, Parrot Foundation. bringing them up to date, i.e., to the current year.[2] While it, of course, passes 'make fulltest', I am a'bit nervous about this repo-wide merge and, so, am asking folks to give it a'look-see and let me know what they think. Whether it is acceptable or not. Thank you. -- Alvis [1] Well, except for a handful of files, which I except for, I think, good reason. [2] The reason for this is, while The Parrot Foundation's copyright, of course, extends up through to the present year, the notices "ought", imo, reflect this fact. That is to say, the copyright notice "ought" to assert the Foundation's copyright up through to the current year. _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
