Follow-up Comment #9, task #15466 (project administration): [comment #8 comment #8:] > I think so, because most project README files I see do not have copyright notices (including several projects I looked at that were hosted on Savannah, to see examples I could follow),
The actual practices don't override the requirements; on the contrary, the requirements are written to regulate the practices. If you see that some copyrightable files miss copyright or license notices in a package hosted on Savannah, this is a bug in that package; please ask its admins fix that. > When https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices/ states that "For copyright purpose, any file more than ten lines long is nontrivial, so it should have copyright and license notices," the literal interpretation would mean that the file COPYING would need a project copyright notice, which clearly does not make sense. And in particular, the file COPYING does need a copyright notice. (I'm not quite sure what you mean by "project copyright notice". What the documentation discusses is valid copyright and license notices.) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?15466> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
