That's an interesting idea, but would people in general find it easy or difficult to write that character? (I'd have to copy-paste it, for instance, since my keymap does not seem to have a binding for it.) The word "Copyright" or the ASCII-art "(C)" might be substituted. > Copyright: > © 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009 Beatrice > Bar <beatr...@example.org> > © 2008, 2010 Barry Baz <ba...@example.com> What do others think? If I was writing a parser, I'd rather have the simplicity of long lines, but then I'm lazy. If I was writing DEP-5 files, I am not sure what I would prefer, but I know I would hate filling out the copyright fields in any case, since it's boring, repetitive work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
