Ideally, the copyright file should reproduce the exact copyright notice(s) found in the upsteam work itself. If there is no year in the original notice (the year of publication ought to be unnecessary in all Berne convention jurisdictions), then the maintainer should not artificially add one. > Copyright Statements: > > <template> > Include the names of all copyright holders here.

A packager's task is to dig out the copyright notice in the source and reproduce that _verbatim_, with whatever warts it has - unless it is actually false. He is _not_ supposed to try to do his on sanitizing of the _form_ of the copyright notice. -- Henning Makholm "En tapper tinsoldat. En dame i spagat. Du er en lykkelig mand ..."
