Hello,
A minor nit-pick for GnuLib's "make syntax-check",
where "maint.mk" has the following rule:
===
sc_copyright_check:
<...>
@require='Copyright @copyright\{\} .*'$$(date +%Y)' Free' \
in_vc_files=$(texi) \
halt='out of date copyright in $(texi); update it' \
$(_sc_search_regexp)
===
This assumes the copyright year is followed by the word "Free" (implicitly: "Free
Software Foundation") in the texinfo file.
If one is to use Gnulib on a non FSF project, "make syntax-check" fails on this
rule.
(This might be intentional, if Gnulib, or just gnulib's syntax-check, is assume
to be used mainly on FSF projects - if so, not worth changing).
Regards,
