Re: [VOTE] Promote Configuration to Commons ProperSo, what is the deal with copyright, everytime it changes we need to update the date? I don't think anyone pays attention to it on a day to day basis.. Sounds like we need something like a maven plugin that checks each file, and if it has changed post whatever the copyright date is, then updates it...

Actually the copyright doesn't end in 2002 but starts in 2002, it's then valid for the lifetime of the author plus a minimum of 50 years after his death according to the Berne Convention. You are right though that some content submitted or modified this year doesn't have a copyright assigned in 2003. Emmanuel Bourg
