Yes doing work that is inaccurate and lends to no good cause is busy work= =2E Yes, someone would have to do it=2E No devs wouldn't be mandated = too=2E

And years later we still have no problems with any copyright issues=2E

These lists are full of end of the world scenarios just like the council/t= rustee/foundation crap=2E

We have issues (like taxes) and then we bikeshed it until our fingers blee= d all the while *one* guy tries to save it by doing actual work=2E

Another beautiful Gentoo day=2E <--- Rich, this is sarcasm=2E

 You basically just said,

 "Let's do some=
 busy work that is utter shit and it's cool"

You'll hav=
e to point out where I said that=2E

The policy was written in reacti=
on to the problems that came about
when copyright notices were stripped =
from udev code, in order to
comply with what was perceived to be the Gen=
too policy at the time=2E
That is clearly not a good policy, and this ne=
w policy was created to
fix that (and bikeshedded over the following few=
 years)=2E

The policy does not require anybody to do "busy work" - i=
t just tells
you what to put in the copyright notice line when you're ed=
iting it=2E
You don't have to look at the notice when you're making rand=
om ebuild
changes=2E
