Hm ... would it be presumptuous to say:
'Copyright © 2010-{1} Squeak Community Contributors.' format: {2021 max: Date today year}
? :-)

Why is that "1996-2010 Viewpoints" not reflected in Squeak's #license? Maybe we can remove the #copyright method alltogether because #license contains all copyright information? Best, Marcel

Contributions from the Squeak community started in 1996. So much so that
the bulk of the relicensing effort was tracking down the individual copyright owners for these early contributions and getting them to sign a relicensing agreement to move from SqueakL to MIT. Later on we got developer initials added to the system, but before Squeak 2.0 contributions were sent this this list and then copy/pasted by Dan Ingalls into the official image. While we asked these people to relicense their code we did not ask them to reassign their copyright to some other entity, so they are still the owners of those code fragments (supposing they are still present in current Squeaks). -- Jecel |

My vote would be: update the number manually when a release is made. Don't update it automatically or in the meantime. Let's pretend (and hope the opposite) that Squeak gets no further contributions after 70 years from now. Just like, I would assume, nobody is working on software for 1950's computers any longer. It would be ridiculous if a Squeak image from 2030 were rediscovered by archeologists (or aliens if you like) and it would claim a copyright to the year 3157.
