Hi All, Removing the date is simply not possible. Reddit is simply wrong here. See 17 U.S.C. 401 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/401).<https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/401> Also, changing existing copyright notices is a big no-no.

This was brought up for discussion a while ago, but the consensus was to remove Authors from source files since it was frequently unclear when to update the list, and they were frequently out of date or incomplete. Who contributed what is accurately recorded by git, and the history shows what parts of what files were written by which authors. Most of the Authors lists have been removed ( https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/25457/1 still needs a +2!), and when making new files in the future, please do not include one. Thanks!
