I think the impact of allowing multi-line traditional copyright in the |
| 12 |
gentoo repo (which is acceptable according to GLEP 76, but not |
| 13 |
necessarily according to repo policy right now) is going to be |
| 14 |
minimal, to be honest. The vast majority of us I expect will be happy |
| 15 |
with "Copyright [years] Gentoo Authors" simplified attribution. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It's also plenty easy enough to discourage the use of traditional |
| 18 |
copyright attribution by requiring a copyright audit be done whenever |
| 19 |
something gets converted from simplified to traditional -- that will |
| 20 |
be PLENTY enough of a pain to keep it from being performed except when |
| 21 |
corporate legal departments require it. |
