TIL: You Can Stop Updating Copyright Attribution Years (2021)
This was always my understanding but IANAL.<p>I brought this up at a startup I worked at when the CTO insisted we change the year in every source file.<p>I gave multiple examples of other code bases at Microsoft and Google and other big companies that dont include the year at all in some cases and definitely dont update every year.<p>He said our lawyers said it had to be updated but I was always suspicious he didnt actually ask.
