Copyright Notices in Code Files
My current joy:
Doing a compare between an old and new version of two versions of a piece of software.
This is the last minor release before the next major version number release.
The developer has decided to update his address in the copyright section of almost 300 files. I am now having to go through each of these to find any real changes.
Questions:
1. If you have an address change why do at 1.9.9.9 when you are currently testing 2.0.0.0?
2. Why not just say Copyright as per file /copyright.txt if you are making this change?
3. Why not release a version of the update with actual real changes instead of cosmetic details which is in a comment?
