gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.
commit 81ee8224ea2b808d71e77c7f6b56f93a6cbecefe
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Tue Feb 17 10:31:32 2026 -0600
[hdtbl]: Revise copyright notices in examples.
In each file, declare only the year 2006 in the copyright notice,
reflecting the date of the last "legally significant"[1] contribution to
it, which was its initial commit to the repository by Werner Lemberg.
Typically, a greater-than-15-lines change _was_ subsequently made, but
in every case this was to add a copyright and license notice, not to add
material to which copyright protection would apply. Commit a6c281f65d
by Werner, 18 August 2007, is an example.
Existing notices claimed an initial copyright year of 2005, however none
of these files existed in groff's (then CVS) repository at that time.
Possibly they circulated on the groff@gnu mailing list--or elsewhere--
for some time prior to 2006. There should be no difficulty in updating
the copyright notice again if presented with applicable evidence of
earlier "fixation" in a "tangible medium"[ibid.]; archived emails would
qualify as such.
