Hi Werner, > Finally, I'm not sure that a copyright line like > > Copyright \[co] 1989\[en]2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > > in a source code file is legal.
I think it's wrong if it's about the source file, but it's OK if it's about the output generated from the source file. https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html touches on this with its discussion of --version output. It also mentions that the copyright symbol isn't needed, so that's probably simplest. And that if a range of years is used, rather than listing each, then its meaning needs to be in README. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
