If that is true, then i'd vote for just elementary, if this is not true then of course we'd have to add the name of the developer who created the file (and the name of developers who made huge changes). Are the names in the copyright actually used by people to find out who made the file? Most of the time it's just the name of the maintainer of a specific project, and when someone is working on a project they will probably know who that maintainer actually is. Now for something like granite, where a lot of files are written by a lot of different people, there it would come in handy, but i don't know how much of a necessity it would be in the other projects. At least i cant think of projects that we have other than granite where multiple devs do really big changes to files. I could be wrong though :) -- Jaap On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 2:51 PM, xapantu <xapa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > 2012/6/14 Jaap Broekhuizen <jaap...@gmail.com> > >> I would vote the second one too, it looks cleaner IMHO, and i don't think >> we need to have the names of the developers in the source file, those can >> be found in the about dialog. >> > I doubt it is legal : how can you write that there is a copyright, which > isn't assigned to anyone?
