(reported via contact@dotnetfoundation.org from Jay Sulzberger)
In the file

https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/master/src/System.Numerics.Vectors/src/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs

there is no mention of the MIT License, under which, according to press accounts, Dotnet Core is now licensed. Rather we have this line:

[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("\x00a9 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.")]

which is line 14 by Github's count.

I think this is just a typo.

The license on the top is MIT. Interestingly, the assembly info is still saying Microsoft Corp. We'll take a look.

Is this really incorrect? The attribute describes the copyright, not the license, no? What do other projects do?

@Petermarcu @nguerrera @BethMassi if you start a mail thread with me I can describe to you what we do in other projects.

Personally, I've never noticed that the copyright attribute carried license information in any other project, open source or otherwise.

Addtionally, shouldn't it be (c) .NET Foundation instead of (c) Microsoft Corp. now?

This was discussed offline and the attribute here is correct.
