From f1d7155952d9abcad4d5d75b56508114469c2a1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Korsgaard Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2023 08:53:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Cleanup/simplify copyright info Historically we have been (more-or-less consistently, sometimes forgetting some files) updating the end year of the copyright statements at the beginning of a new year. We're naturally not alone in that. Recently this was discussed in curl, and it turns out that copyright years are not really required: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/01/08/copyright-without-years/ So drop the years and simplify the copyright statements. While we're at it, also ensure the same syntax (capital C, email address) is used everywhere. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard Signed-off-by: Yann E.
