The CVS repository for "cc-mode.el" (from the cc-mode website) shows that the statements "This file is part of GNU Emacs" and Copyright FSF were added in 1992. http://cc-mode.cvs.sourceforge.net/cc-mode/cc-mode/cc-mode.el?r1=2.193&r2=2.194 http://cc-mode.cvs.sourceforge.net/cc-mode/cc-mode/cc-mode.el?r1=2.192&r2=2.193 I also see there that the Copyright years 1992-1998 were all listed explicitly at one point, then in 1999 got changed to the "compact" form. So it seems pretty clear they should be put back. A few other files have "odd" Copyright notices, eg leim/MISC-DIC/CTLau.html leim/quail/CTLau.el lisp/international/titdic-cnv.el lisp/language/thai-word.el Eg who owns the copyright for thai-word.el in 2006? Who has owned titdic-cnv.el since 2002? _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
