Follow-up Comment #23, task #16596 (group administration): Thank you!
Generally, the exact forms of copyright notices may depend on the country; for
example, the the copyright sign may be used instead of the word "Copyright,"
and the copyright years may follow the names of the copyright holders.
Moreover, when someone showed me a copyright notice from a book printed in
Iran, it was written completely with the Arabic script. I couldn't see
neither the word "Copyright" nor the copyright sign, even in the form of a
parenthesized "C."
The GNU Project and Savannah use the conventions established in the US, as
explained in our guidelines.
Now, files like speex/libspeex/lsp.c have no valid copyright notice.
Then, the notice in files like simcore/icftypes.h is unclear: it doesn't tell
the origin of the file and why it's in the public domain. To tell the truth,
I don't understand what 'has no copyright assigned' mean. It refers to
DISCLAIMER.txt, but that file essentially provides no further details, and the
relevant information should be in the covered file, in the first place.
When fixing these issues, please check for other such files in your tarball.
