copyright info in the parrot repository has not been maintained. this should be remedied. through discussions with TPF and Chip, the following strategy has been approved: ~ the official copyright text will reside in the README file in the parrot root dir. [DONE] ~ the official text will be associated to each file in the parrot repository via a new svn keyword, 'Copyright' ~ copyright text in each text file will be replaced with the new keyword for expansion ~ committers will be instructed on setting their environments to understand this custom keyword ~ tests will be designed to detect differences between the official copyright text (README) and text files in the repository, with an exception list for files that do not contain the copyright message ~ these tests will be run before every release ~ a script will be made available to add or otherwise maintain the copyright info in all files this will be implemented over the coming days and weeks. ~jerry
