[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-497) update copyright (and licence) prior
to release of 1.9
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-497?page=comments#action_12366435 ]
Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-497:
-------------------------------------
IANAL, but I don't think the copyright dates should be changed unless a significant amount of the file has changed. The date in the copyright is the date of first publication.
Copyrights have a limited duration, and changing the copyright date doesn't extend the date they expire. They last long enough (75 years?) that we shouldn't be worried though. You don't even need a copyright statement for the work to be copyrighted, but we should have them anyway to prevent the "innocent infringement" defence, and because the ASF probably wants them.

> Key: LUCENE-497

> As discussed in email earlier today, it wouldn't hurt to update the Copyright on all of the source files before release 1.9.
> Rather then try to submit a path with all the changes, here's a oneliner that should work on any unix box to update in mass. If it sees a Copyright string it recognizes, it preserves the start year and adds/replaces the end year...
> find -name \*.java | xargs perl -pi -e 's/Copyright (\(c\) )?(200[0-5])(-\d+)? (The )?Apache Software Foundation/Copyright ${2}-2006 The Apache Software Foundation/;'
> ...it would make sense for someone with commit permissions to run that themselves.
> It also cleans up a few that have a " (c) " in them that doesn't seem standard across the rest of the files, and makes sure that the ASF is refered to as "The" ASF.
> Even after all that, there are a few that may need cleaned up by hand...
