Re: Legal question on copyright notices

[Richard Stallman]

    Part of the task is to transfer the copyright to the fsf, which is
    basically no problem, as all contributors have signed papers.

    My question is, how will the copyright notices in the file have to
    look?

    By now there are copyright notices of the main contributors scattered
    all over the file.  Can they be substituted by one copyright notice of
    the fsf, like:

     ;; Copyright (C) 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,
     ;;   2005, 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Yes.
