Coke, Andy, et.al.,
I appreciate the quick feedback. It's really not a problem, either way. I did
the thing _thinking_ it was a good idea -- without discussing it on #parrot, I
might add. That doesn't mean it was! :)
And, fwiw, I probably have a fairly legalistic way of looking at copyright
assertions, yada, yada. That is, more paperwork-shuffle, than functional and
legally operative.
You might also want to glance at t/codingstd/copyright.t. This tests
for the presence of copyright statements -- in a specific format -- in a
large subset of our source code.
(There are a few oddball cases where someone other than Parrot
foundation is listed as copyright owner.)
This test file doesn't, however, test for recency of copyright date,
i.e., whether the copyright for a file that was created before 2012 and
modified in 2012 has been updated to: *-2012. I haven't looked at your
branch, but it would be great to have your program test for recency as
per the copyright policy cited by Duke.
Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
