* README: Copy coreutils wording for allowing copyright year ranges. Also mention libsigsegv 2.9. * cfg.mk (UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS): Now that GNU Coding Standards permit it, prefer shorthand copyright. * HACKING: Update libsigsegv preference.
Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <[email protected]> --- Previously, I had been enforcing long-hand copyright because of GNU Coding Standards. But those were recently changed, so now is a perfect time to adopt coreutils' policy. :) I guess I didn't make it with releasing m4 1.4.16 in 2010; I'd like some more Haiku feedback before releasing.
