Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] maint: new rule to update copyright year ranges
This brings up a related topic that belatedly crossed my mind recently. rms stated an extra requirement of making a statement in the README about copyright ranges when they are used. Thus, ever since gnulib started using ranges, every gnulib-using package has this new requirement -- unbeknownst to them. Instead of educating the whole world about this painful point, would it be feasible to have gnulib-tool create a README.gnulib file in the "gnulib" directory (wherever the lib and m4 directories it messes with are)? I think that (plus a bit of doc) would satisfy both the spirit and the letter of the requirement. Thanks, k
