Open MoonkiHong opened 3 years ago
@MoonkiHong I am a little surprised with this issue. Please provide me with a document that describes the correct date (for my understanding). I will provide several sources that describe my assumption below:
https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html https://opensource.google/docs/copyright/
@tdrozdovsky Your references are just references for other cases, but the existing statement is quite different from other LF Edge projects. Please see this: https://github.com/edgexfoundry/app-functions-sdk-go/commit/1034e843966f0cfc729a3c3cb90a33a655031538#diff-4dc29fe4b21f98a3b1a4218ee6b0385ac736428b4c1b9a7d6c5d4b33521b7d33.
@MoonkiHong This is possibly a human error. That's why I requested the document.
How about such a link: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/2020/01/copyright-notices-in-open-source-software-projects/ quote from this document "By using a common format, the project avoids having to maintain lists of names of the authors or copyright holders, years or ranges of years, and variations on the (c) symbol. "
Do not misunderstand me, I want to know how to indicate correctly, because today the world has turned upside down for me. )))
@MoonkiHong As far as I understand, copyright includes the date of creation + 50 years; in cases of file changes, indicate additional years to fix these changes, but at the same time do not delete the time of copyright registration.
P.S. I will follow the rules that you specify as you represent Samsung and you specify the copyright. I only pay attention to it

@tdrozdovsky Yes, better to publish that official guideline document, but I do think that your request should be handled by a separate issue report, and properly bring it to the regarding organization if necessary. This is firstly for the resolution in conjunction with PR #176 though.

@tdrozdovsky Thank you for your attention. Yours is very reasonable and I am also very aware of it. Do not worry. I categorized my PR #176 as WIP. I will clarify my own uncertainty and get back to you.
@MoonkiHong Yes, I really care about that, since I have experience in copyright litigation.
Maybe you would ask this question to Samsung intellectual property lawyers.
Regarding PR: #157 suggested by @tdrozdovsky, accepted by me (@MoonkiHong) and @suresh-lc:
We have deeply validated the copyright statement policy from open source communities especially projects in LF Edge, and our final decision from the evaluation is to revoke the PR #157 to the original one to state the latest released year for the contributed source codes. So I would like to report as the required item to be fixed as soon as possible. I am going to present a regarding PR shortly.
