Hi,

I saw that trurl's COPYING file has Copyright (c) 2023 - 2024, Daniel Stenberg, <[email protected]> while other files's boilerplate has Copyright (C) Daniel Stenberg, <[email protected]>, et al.. Does the project intend to have them differently or is something that's just was updated in one place but not the other?

You mean the et al difference or the year range?

The year range is meant to only be in the COPYING. The et al part I'm not sure.

Hi,

the et al difference

I should have clarified that was the et al part, my bad. I'm not sure how strict it should be maintaining the same name for the copyright holder (I'm not a layer famous disclaimer here :-) but would be nice for distributors (aka distro packagers) to be the same.
