Follow-up Comment #4, task #16406 (project administration):
Hello, Ineiev,
>> ...If I understand correctly, none of these five files needs a
copyright/licence statement.
> Why do you think they needn't?
Er, because they've never had one before? I've had a look at a recent Emacs
release, and all the corresponding files in Emacs have C/L statements, even if
they're sometimes (ChangeLog) at the bottom of the file, not the top.
So, it seems these files _do_ need C/L statements. Copyrighting them to the
FSF isn't a problem (everybody who's worked on it has signed copyright
papers), but what date(s) do I put in? Do I use 2023 (the date of adding the
copyright statement) or a range of dates going back to the original creation
of the files? The latter may be problematic, since I don't know for sure when
some files were created, and might not be able to find this out from previous
maintainers. (I took over the SourceForge project in ~2005.)
Sorry about the waste of time, here.
