Re: live-build copyright notices



Some years ago the FSF advised against using Copyright YEAR1-YEAR-4.
They said it was better to have:

Copyright YEAR4
Copyright YEAR3
Copyright YEAR2
Copyright YEAR1

.

I don't remember what their reasoning was but it was some legal stuff.

Not sure if it's valid nowadays.

Oh, I thought that you copied some sample copyright notice that you would
like to see updated... I did not understand that it was an example of the
updated copyright notice.

I'm fine with adding the suggested copyright line. Ideally, it should be updated
to 2016-<current year> when we touch a given file. Given that you touched
almost all files recently, it would make sense to start with 2016-2020.

Ack.
