Hi,

Is there a document that sums up how to specify the copyright notice
lines in Trac source code ?

I read the email from Christopher about updating the year to 2006, but
I'd like to get more details about the recommended syntax of these
lines. Maybe a real example would help to understand my question ;-).

Let's say that the current copyright notice is as follow:

# Copyright (C) 2003-2005 Edgewall Software
# Copyright (C) 2003-2005 Daniel Lundin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# All rights reserved.
#
# This software is licensed as described in the file COPYING, which
# you should have received as part of this distribution. The terms
# are also available at http://trac.edgewall.com/license.html.

# This software consists of voluntary contributions made by many
# individuals. For the exact contribution history, see the revision
# history and logs, available at http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/.
#
# Author: Daniel Lundin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

and I've added new code to this file, what would be the changes to the
(c) notice ?

I guess the first line would be

# Copyright (C) 2003-2006 Edgewall Software

In the 2nd line, should I update the year as well (ie 2005 or 2006):
# Copyright (C) 2003-2005 Daniel Lundin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Then I think I should add something like
# Copyright (C) 2005-2006 Emmanuel Blot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Am I right ?

Then what about the author line ? Should we keep this line, which
seems to duplicate the (c) lines ?

Thanks in advance,
Manu
