Add the name of the copyright holder and year #13391
Conversation
I don't think a starting year is either necessary or useful, and 2012 would not be right if it was. The Mozilla Foundation is also only one of many copyright holders - the MIT license file is wrong. |
The copyright belongs to "The Rust Project Developers" according to COPYRIGHT and every single source file. |
I assume the copyright in the MIT license should also be changed to:
|
cc @graydon |
Since it's all we use in other files, "The Rust Project Developers" is all that's needed in here. The range of dates is meaningless because it has no meaning in copyright law - the published date does, and that's 2014 for the contents of master. That's why the template licenses never ask for a range. |
That LICENSE-MIT was wrong has long bugged me. I also agree "The Rust Project Developers" and 2014 is sufficient. LICENSE-APACHE does not need to change though. That line is actually part of the appendix, which is a template explaining how to use the license - I don't think it's intended to be changed. |
@inlock sorry for the runaround, but I'd like to remove the copyright lines for Graydon and the Mozilla Foundation from LICENSE-MIT as well. |
Sorry this went under the radar for so long @smesseim! Feel free to comment on a PR when you update it, because sadly we don't get any notifications when it's force-pushed. Could you squash these commits into just one commit? Thanks again, and sorry for the delay! |
The copyright of this project belongs to The Rust Project Developers, who are mentioned in AUTHORS.txt.
The commits are squashed into one commit. |

The years of copyright and the name of the copyright holder were not present in the notice. The Apache license was added to the project in 2012, so 2012 is the starting year. The copyright holder is the Mozilla Foundation (taken from the MIT license).
