Change History

Before starting this long and boring task, do you really replace "Perl Foundation" by "Parrot Foundation" ?

I am not a lawyer, but another possibility is to add a new copyright line in old files,

# Copyright (C) 2002-2008, The Perl Foundation.

# Copyright (C) 2008-2009, The Parrot Foundation.

Only recent files (created after Parrot Foundation incorporation) have a single copyright line

# Copyright (C) 2008-2009, The Parrot Foundation.

Completely replace "The Perl Foundation" with "Parrot Foundation" (the copyright assignment covers all previous releases). So:

# Copyright (C) 2008-2009, Parrot Foundation.

(Unlike The Perl Foundation, there's no "The" in the name of Parrot Foundation.)

I've added a small script to do the bulk of the updating. Check files before committing them, as some things (LICENSE, DONORS.pod) have references to TPF that shouldn't be changed to PaFo.

Un-skipping the second test in t/codingstd/copyright.t now shows all the files that still need their copyright updated to Parrot Foundation.

All files are updated to grant copyright to Parrot Foundation. Done just before 0.9.1 release.

Closing ticket.

This seems like a good place to mention that t/codingstd/copyright.t is currently TODO'd due to the following files with an invalid copyright line (Also, see TT#304). 

# Bad format in copyright statement found in 3 files:
# /Users/coke/research/parrot/ext/Parrot-Embed/lib/Parrot/Embed.pm
# /Users/coke/research/parrot/ext/Parrot-Embed/lib/Parrot/Interpreter.pm
# /Users/coke/research/parrot/ext/Parrot-Embed/lib/Parrot/PMC.pm

These three files all have a line like: 

Copyright (C) 2006-2008 Parrot Foundation / chromatic.

chromatic said today that he's fine with changing that to just "Parrot Foundation".

Replying to allison:

chromatic said today that he's fine with changing that to just "Parrot Foundation".

Fixed in r38763. AFAICT, the only remaining copyright problems are the Melvin Smith problems being tracked in TT #304. So I am resolving this ticket.

Thank you very much.
