[jira] [Updated] (LEGAL-645) is it ok to modify 3rd party copyright headers that have no end year?
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-645?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
PJ Fanning updated LEGAL-645:
-----------------------------
Description:
In one of the Apache Pekko source repositories, the source code has Lightbend
copyrights that say ([example|https://github.com/apache/incubator-pekko-connectors/blob/178795f6882e2d06524962f30359691889489fd5/s3/src/main/scala/org/apache/pekko/stream/connectors/s3/Utils.scala#L11]):
Copyright (C) since 2016 Lightbend Inc.
Since the Pekko project forked this code at a point in September 2022, is it
ok to change this copyright to this?
Copyright (C) 2016-2022 Lightbend Inc.
It doesn't seem right to leave the copyright claim open ended and
effectively implying that any changes made this year by the Apache
Pekko community are covered by Lightbend copyright.
Generally, I wouldn't modify any headers like this but this one seems
to require modification.
Any insights would be appreciated.
