"There is no need to include the year in a copyright declaration statement. And related, there is no need to update the year statement, add new year statements, manage year range statements, or any of that stuff. It is tedious, boring, adds no value, and prevents no risks. "Several large legally sophisticated companies, include Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, are now publishing open source code with copyright statements without a year." Can you cite some examples of those large companies publishing open source code without a year? Do you have any legal analysis on this you can share, publicly or privately? I'm asking for three reasons: 1) My own curiosity 2) Wearing my Debian packager hat, in case this comes up with Debian when I bring in the next NTPsec release with all the years scrubbed and update debian/copyright to match. 3) Because I'd like to convince others of this point, so I can stop having to maintain copyright statements all over the place. -- Richard
