I didn't think we wanted to update back branch copyright end dates because that would effect thing like psql \copyright display, and the risk didn't seem worth it.

We have never done that in the past, and I don't think we should start now. What I thought Peter was complaining about was that legal.sgml had been missed in the *head* branch. However, a look in the git history shows that hasn't happened since 2005, so it seems like the current process is OK. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
