Hi Ralf and all,
I don't know if there is either legal or by-convention significance to
There is no significance to the whitespace in the copyright "line".
(Nor does it have to be on one physical line.)
At Jim's suggestion, I replaced the two spaces with one in
maintain.texi.
I do remember patches to explicitly add back those two spaces
to some GNU projects.
I guess I wasn't involved, or have forgotten. At any rate, FWIW, I
can't imagine an important reason for it.
Not even a '(C)', oops!
(C) is neither required nor forbidden. I tend to omit it in new files,
saving three more characters for those pesky year lists :). I just
changed the maintain.texi text along those lines.
