-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I noticed in lib/Savannah/User.pm the following # Copyright 2003-2004 (c) Mathieu Roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. First, unless a copyright get assigned to the FSF formally (filled out papers), it is completely illegal. Secondly, it is best to get consistent with the way things are written (in extenso, it is ugly to have lines with the (c) not at the same place). Thirdly, when you write a new copyright line, it looks like at some point it is a new list that begins. I know in the past some "Copyright (C) Free Software Foundation, Inc." were added in numerous places... by mistake. It had no legal ground, and should have been removed everywhere. The corrected version would be # Copyright 2003-2004 (c) Mathieu Roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # YourNAME <youraddress> If you do have filled out forms of FSF USA copyright assignement, please mention it in the AUTHORS file, and when you do add your copyright, do so so it appears in the list of the current version developers. When there are several "copyright" in the code, it highlight the status of the code when the software was called sourceforge (alexandria) and then savannah. If you do not have filled out such forms but intend to do so, note that it may not really be useful for Savane. Reading <http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legal-Matters> gives me the filling that such copyright assignement is only if the only copyright holder is the FSF USA. For obvious reasons (assigning copyright to someone else is a matter of trust, isn't it) Savane will never be completely assigned to the FSF USA.
