By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2006-01-04 22:30:20.000-0600 And actually, given that copyrights last the life of the author plus 70 years, I don't really see what advantage there is in changing the copyrights.  We aren't anywhere near 70 years past the death of anybody who has contributed code to Asterisk. By: Russell Bryant (russell) 2006-01-04 22:43:54.000-0600 So, you're saying it was kind of silly of me to go through and change almost every file to "2005" about a year ago?  :)  oops! I guess it makes sense that we should only update the copyright header in files that have changed. Thanks for the help Junky! By: Clod Patry (junky) 2006-01-05 05:49:14.000-0600 The problem i thought about changing just the files we modified is the fact we'll probably forget to do that in like April or May and until the end of 2006. In this way, we're sure we won't forget anything and we'll be in peace for 2006. If you dont want it, you can close it. By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2006-01-05 10:42:39.000-0600 This is not something we ought to be doing.  The change in copyright should only occur if there's an actual update to the code, which is more than just a simple bugfix (which is not copyrightable). A feature, a new technique for approaching a problem -- these are both legitimate reasons for extending the copyright date.
