It occured to me though, can the (C) update be left until just before a
branch and made part of the release process? It might make everyones
life easier (well ignoring the release manager :-).
I am not a lawyer, just an engineer armchair lawyer wannabe.
I think that the daily snapshots constitute publication of the work,
especially since we give public notice of them on
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current.
Yes, that's good enough for me.
Could you ARI the copyrights? Something like: if the file has been
modified since 2002-12-31, and the file has a "copyright" line in it,
then "2003" must appear on the copyright line or the line after that.
Comming right up [...]. I've already a script that half does it.

Thanks for handling the ChangeLog. Why do you need to roll (C)
notices? I think I've committed most of the large patches of the
year-to-date, and I check (C) in every file [unless I forget :)]. It's
easier to just do it as we go along.
I've committed some massive changes but forgot the (C) notices (DavidC
reminded me). I need to update those.
