Re: copyright year question

[Ben Tris]

This is what I think:

If you take a copyrightable part of a file, then that parts (last)
copyright year is valid.

One copyrightable addition to a file causes the whole

file to have a new copyright year.

One copyrightable addition in a whole work causes

the work as a whole to have a new copyright year.

A valid license is valid for the copyright year(s) it was applied.

If possible: If that valid license varied external then all valid
versions of that license

apply from of the year they were valid for that copyright year(s).


This I don't really know:

You may also have to know in what year(s) the copyright year(s) was/were
first published if applicable.
