The date can either be a single year or a range of years separated by a comma. The curly braces in the template shouldn't appear in the actual header.
e.g. " Copyright (c) 2016, 2017 Contributors to the Eclipse Foundation "
The NOTICES file replaces the old requirement for an about.html
file as described in the Guide to the Legal Documentation [1].
Note that we are in the process of revising this documentation and
Eclipse MicroProfile on the bleeding edge of that process. One of
the primary problems with our legal documentation requirements is
that it is very focused on Eclipse Platform Plug-in type
artifacts. We're generalizing it to be independent of any
particular implementation technology.
Note also that we're in the process of adopting SPDX [2] as the
format for the NOTICES file. We're still just sorting out what
sort of information we feel needs to be captured in these files,
so be prepared for some follow up (i.e. changes in requirements).
We require that a NOTICES file be included with each unit
distribution artifact. For a Java application, this unit artifact
is generally a JAR or some sort of similar archive format (WAR).
Ideally, this NOTICES file should contain information that is
specific to the content that it accompanies. If one particular JAR
has some content under different licensing terms, for example,
that needs to be indicated in the NOTICES file. Let me know if you
need any help with that sort of thing.
The notices file needs to list the copyright holders. This is
different from the contributors and contribution history (Git
tracks this stuff). The list of copyright holders will probably be
a list of companies and some individuals.
How or if you choose to use the @author tags is entirely up to the project team.
I think that I've answered all of your questions. Let me know if
I've missed something.
We're tracking the evolution of this new means of specifying
headers and NOTICES on Bug 514948 [3].
