[jira] Created: (OFBIZ-2346) Change Copyright Year

Nicolas Malin (Jira)
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
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: SVN trunk
         Attachments: 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 !

Hi Ashish,

what about using javascript in footer.ftl to get the current year? This way, next year we will have less work to do :-)

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.  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.

    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...
