My understanding of the Berne Convention rules for Copyright (which covers most jurisdictions - even the USA now), is that the copyright period only gets extended when the copyrighted item gets updated. It can not be extended indefinitely just by saying that this has happened, it requires real action on behalf of the copyright holder. I would suggest that you ask the Apache lawyers before implementing this. David |
Hello David,
It seems that you are right. If this is the case then my previous patch can be used. Thanks David, for your attention on this thing. -- Ashish > I do not think that this is legally right. > > My understanding of the Berne Convention rules for Copyright (which covers > most jurisdictions - even the USA now), is that the copyright period only > gets extended when the copyrighted item gets updated.

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2346?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Jacques Le Roux closed OFBIZ-2346. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Assignee: Ashish Vijaywargiya Thanks Ashish, Your patch is in trunk at revision: 772936 . I have removed the newer patch as it was not following international laws regarding copyright update (thanks to David Goodenough's advice). I wonder know if we should not backport this to R9.04. It's obviously not a bug,. But it can't hurt in any ways and especially it's weird to release without he copyright updated at the date of the release... > Change Copyright Year > ---------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-2346 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2346 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ALL COMPONENTS > Affects Versions: SVN trunk > Reporter: Ashish Vijaywargiya > Assignee: Ashish Vijaywargiya > Priority: Minor > Fix For: SVN trunk > > Attachments: Copyright_Year_Change.patch, Copyright_Year_Change.patch > > > I don't know much about when this copyright year and other related info changes come into existence. > But if its right time to change the copyright year then here is the patch. > And if it comes into existence after the completion of year then we can safely close this issue. > Thanks ! > -- > Ashish -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. |
