| Legoktm added a project: Software-Licensing. Legoktm added a comment. |
I -2'd the patch, while well intentioned, I don't think it's a good idea. IANAL, (but I think I have a decent understanding of software copyright laws and problems).
The year is usually included due to https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap4.html - which mentions that a copyright notice should have the year. At least I live in the US, and probably some other contributors do.
On the importance of per-file copyright headers, I'll point to what Luis wrote a few years back - http://lu.is/blog/2012/03/17/on-the-importance-of-per-file-license-information/
