For code that we have written, what should the copyright notices read during the period where we have given the FSF a copyright assignemnt, but they haven't yet acknowledged that it is on file? Obviously when we wrote the code, we've put our own copyright notices on it because we need to have a copyright in it before we can assign it to someone else. Eventually, for the code that we have assigned, they should be changed to say Copyright FSF. But at what point in time should the Copyright notices actually be changed?
IANAL, but... It cannot be committed to GCC until it contains an FSF copyright notice. Before it is committed it is your code, do whatever you want. David Daney
