I cannot recall that we discussed this during the last decade. Anyways, there is not a documented consensus either in the licensing policy or in the licensing wiki.

Need hints trying to locate a compositing issue.
Hi devels, Sorry if this is not the best place to ask, feel free to point me to a better one if necessary. I'm using KDE 4.11 which came with my opensuse 13.2. Sure it is a pretty old system but it still does its job fine every day and I plan to keep it for some while. I've made quite a lot of updates to support newer hardware etc. Now to the point. I have desktop effects enabled (desktop cube, woobly windows, etc) for years and had nothing wrong with it. The video adapter is Intel HD (builtin), OpenGL works fine. Now I've found a reliably reproducable issue. When I connect to a remote windows box using RDP and start picture/fax viewer in it and then scroll the picture up/down rapidly several times inside this remote picture/fax viewer while simultaneously moving mouse around aggressively, an artifact appears. It looks as if 2 flip-pages of window contents buffer being repeatedly interchanged as mouse approaches control buttons (and some small repainting therefore needs to happen) AND one of this pages then exhibits a vertically misplaced portion of the picture, so part of the window looks "flashing" rapidly until I stop moving the mouse. It feels a bit like maybe some memory corruption so I'd like to try find and fix it. The issue does not happen with Desktop Effects disabled or set to XRender, therefore I suppose the RDP application is not to blame. Obviously it is related to OpenGL and compositing and vertical block movement. Now my suspect list is the following: 1. kernel 4.14.174 - buggy drm module? 2. libdrm 2.4.67 - buggy library? 3. Mesa 11.2.2 - buggy library? 4. xorg 1.16.1 - buggy X? 5. intel X module 48.20200205.fc33 (from Fedora core 33) - buggy intel driver? 6. kwin 4.11.20 - buggy compositor? So pretty large list, and I'm not sure how to better dig it further. Any hints greatly appreciated. Maybe it is a known issue already? Thanks. Regards, Nikolai

But that is only my opinion. What do the others think? If you're not doing any change you're not creating copyright because there's nothing being created, so yes i would not agree on updating the copyright if you don't change anything. Also remember that you don't *need* to really write that you have copyright on things, you create copyright by just creating the things, the copyright notices are a nicety not really a requirement if you have other things like git that can prove who and when something was created [*] Cheers, Albert * Not a lawyer, not sure how valid a git commit log is to prove you created something in court > > Cheers, > Andreas > > > [1] https://reuse.software/faq/#years-copyright > > >
