Re: [hibernate-dev] Copyright year in license header
Gunnar, it is largely irrelevant based on the legal expertise we have
been given by Red Hat.
But if you are going to keep up with it (and I think there is value to
that, and do it myself still) generally the year should just be touched
for non-trivial updates. A range is good. Simply updating the year to
the current year is fine. Listing years of all such non-trivial
updates is yet another good approach. Personally I tend to just update
the year.

Hi all,
what is our guideline with respect to specifying the year of copyright
in source code license headers? Is it only the year of the last update
or an interval such as "2009 - 2012"?
I know that the matter was discussed before, but based on the mails
I've found, I'm not sure what the final decision was. I'd like to add
this information to the "Contributing to HV" wiki page.
Thanks,
