Dear copyright experts,
recently the upstream authors of one of the packages I (co-)maintain
adjusted the copyright statements of the project on the occasion of its
integration into the High Performance Software Foundation.
As part of this change copyright years were removed from the copyright
notice (see [0]). According to [1] this happened because the upstream
authors "got tired of updating those years and it matches the LF
recommendation" (where "LF recommendation" is a link to [2]).
I wonder what are the implications of this removal on the corresponding
Debian package [3] and its copyright file.
Best regards
Peter
