- Subject: GNAT Userâs Guide: copyright does not comply to "Information for Maintainers of GNU Software"
Dear developers,
I downloaded GNAT User's Guide at
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn_unw.pdf (GCC 4.6.0) and found the
following copyright notice:
Copyright (C) 1995-2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
According to section "Copyright Notices" of the manual "Information for
Maintainers of GNU Software" [1]:
You can use a range (â2008-2010â) instead of listing individual years
(â2008, 2009, 2010â) if and only if:
1) every year in the range, inclusive, really is a âcopyrightableâ
year that would be listed individually; and
2) you make an explicit statement in a âREADMEâ file about this usage.
[1] http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html
Does this manual respects "1)"?
If it does, there should be a "README" file somewhere according to
"2)", there is no "README" in http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/ada/.
Please fix this.
Christophe
