Yes. However, xgettext is not intended for generating a real header entry, but for generating a template of a header entry. If one really wants to carry a real copyright notice in a POT file, she could easily do that from without xgettext, e.g., in the toplevel Makefile.am: dist-hook: echo "# Copyright (C) ..." >> $(distdir)/po/hello.pot Regards, -- Daiki Ueno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
