Oh and does anyone have a good sense of a shorthand for referring to our copyright. Is "Copyright 200x-2005 Twisted Matrix Laboratories except where noted in individual files" or anything like it a meaningful or correct statement any more?

I think that technically speaking we're not supposed to remove copyright statements from individual files, but they also become gradually invalid as more contributors add significant portions to particular files. Since MIT license says not to remove the notice, I don't think we can make a policy of removing it. In this case, we'd ask lifeless to remove the copyright notices if he is comfortable with doing that, and if not, leave them there. It's just an aesthetic preference of mine that license crap not pollute the top of every single file in the system.

Are there any wiki pages for the current Twisted copyright policy? Should we create a .xhtml doc? It can be a few lines, we'd at least need something (and this ticket indicates there's nothing atm).

Added a copyright header section to the coding standard doc in r24698, putting it up for review.

Perhaps this should also discuss what to do in the case described in the first comment on this ticket. I think the resolution is that we leave it, but once we start editing the file, we also add the Twisted copyright.

Replying to exarkun:

I added a note for this in r24732 and rewrote the XXX part a little. Up for review.
