[Bug 7263] New: Mail::SpamAssassin module is missing the copyright
https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7263
Bug ID: 7263
Summary: Mail::SpamAssassin module is missing the copyright
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.4.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 7
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Building & Packaging
Assignee: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
Reporter: quanah@zimbra.com
While there is a Copyright section in the POD documentation for
Mail::SpamAssassin, it lists no copyright at all. Instead, it refers to the
license, which isn't quite the same thing.
I'd expect something like:
Copyright 2001-2015 the Apache Foundation

SA joined the ASF in 2004:

We can see the move to do the work in 2003:

>From backpan, we can see that SA 3.0.1, released in 22 Oct 2004, was definitely
part of the ASF:
http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/J/JM/JMASON/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.1.readme
So it was definitely part of ASF for that release.
The release just prior to that (2.64) from 04 Aug 2004, was at the old
spamassassin.sourceforge.net website, and does not reference ASF.
So 2004 is the correct starting year for SA as part of ASF. :)

For now, I just used the current copyright year and updated the build doc to
review the Credits for accurate Copyright.
3.4:
Sending CREDITS
Sending build/README
Sending sa-compile.raw
Sending sa-update.raw
Sending spamassassin.raw
Transmitting file data .....
Committed revision 1714589.
trunk:
Trunk is same for 1714591 + a spamdcheck under revision 1714592.

I figure to start with the information I can defend.

The project was brought into the ASF and my thought is baby steps because I
know what is correct now. Figuring out the other information adds no value and
could be a large rabbithole. But if someone knows the correct, factual
information, my thought is to add it. Absent that information, this is a
triage step for a good point.

A good thing to polish since.
I think these are the applicable instructions from the license to apply to the
code and the first line with the copyright is missing.

Thoughts?

Ok. Well, we know it's been in the ASF I assume since at least X date, so
could start that copyright then? like 2010-2015 ASF etc?

Copyright usually starts from the starting point of the package. I noted 2001
specifically, as that was the oldest year I could find a SpamAssassin release
for. I assume it has been a part of the apache foundation that entire time.
If not, there may need to be more than one copyright listed.

The change to spamassassin.raw was committed to 3.4 branch but had never been
committed to trunk.
