Guys,
It is not OK to blindly replace a copyright header with another one.
One must at least make sure that:
- the original copyright date is not erased
- copyright holders included in the header are not removed
For the date, if a file was initially created in 2007 and updated this year (or any other
year in between), the reference will then be 2007-2011
See http://community.jboss.org/wiki/CopyrightOwnershipandLicenses for more info.

Have the policies changed? The least time we had this discussion on
hibernate-dev
(Oct 2009) you said:
"When you touch an existing file or create a new one, set 2009 to the
copyright notice (no need to keep the previous year around)."

Yes sorry,
It looks like either I misread our legal advise or he changed his mind. More likely the
former.

More likely the former.
So from now on we not just update the year, but have the 200x-2011
approach?

Hi,
was there already a final decision on this? I guess the same rule (whichever
it is) applies to HV, right?
Thanks, Gunnar
