Karl Berry just mentioned that it's now considered fine (recommended, even) to update all copyright lists to include the new year on January 1. Before, it was recommended not to do that, but rather to update each list only upon modifying the corresponding file in the course of development.
This is documented: > maintain(Copyright Notices), specifically: > > To update the list of year numbers, ...

I prefer to have one change set per year updating all copyright year lists, rather than having a copyright-list update as part of the first change of the year for files modified in the normal course of development. So I did the mass-update in coreutils. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
