Page Comparison

• Do include a current copyright and license notice at the top of every LiteFarm source file, using the format shown below.

• Don't include the filename in the notice.

Notes

1. At the time of this writing, not a single file in LiteFarm fully meets this expectation. While writing the guidance, we learned that using year ranges like 2019-2022 is not ideal.

2. Each subsequent year that a LiteFarm version is released will be added to the year list in future. When all files are following best practice, this could be automated.

3. Currently, many LF files have no notice at all.

4. Currently, many LF files incorrectly state that the software is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation. (It is the license text that is copyrighted by FSF.)

5. Currently, many LF files include a filename in the second line of text. Often the filename is incorrect because of renaming files or copy/pasting the notice. Do not include a filename.
