Daniel Robbins said in August: "I've been trying to get people to keep their names in the copyright line for over a year, but no one has really started doing it. To my knowledge, it is better to have multiple official copyright holders for GPL code than just a single copyright holder. I would like all our ebuilds to have a copyright like this:
# Copyright 2003 Gentoo Technologies, Joe User, and others (see cvs # changelog.) Distributed under the GPL version 2. I don't see why this would be a problem for anyone, and makes a lot more sense than what we are doing now." Since then I've submitted all my ebuilds with dual copyright lines, but never once been accepted as that. I've been told that the automated tools don't like a different line, and that "Seemant says "dual copyrights" are only accepted for special circumstances, e.g. when you're employed to do the work by an external entitity". On another note, it would be nice to see ebuilds accepted if there are no bug reports after a while.. I have ebuilds for new packages still sitting in bugzilla after half a year. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
