I still see a number of issues present...
- It implies all of the names listed hold copyright on most files
- "and others" & "et al." is not a valid copyright holder (upstream problem)
+ just omit these words from d/copyright
- protocols/oscar/* has 5 copyright holders (1 mentioned, 2 extra, 4 missing)
- protocols/twitter/* has two copyright holders (2 correct, 1 extra)
- protocols/ft.h is copyright by Marijn Kruisselbrink
- dcc.c is copyright by Uli Meis, not the others listed
- lib/proxy.c is copyright by ISC
- etc.
Although we pay little attention to specific years and permit some munging of
copyright holders, this copyright file still needs a bit of work.
... it would be nice if upstream didn't create such a mess.
If you start with Wilmer holding copyright on '*' (despite COPYING claiming
FSF), then further refining can be done with:
grep -iR copyright . | grep -Ev '(Wilmer|Lintux)'
Most others only have copyright on a small number of files.
