There was a problem hiding this comment.
Why do we need to specify the dates like 2006, 2014 and 2015? Can't we just put 2018?

I would recommend: Copyright 2006-2018 Klaus Hartl, Fagner Brack, GitHub Contributors or even with just the current year: Copyright 2018 Klaus Hartl, Fagner Brack, GitHub Contributors I believe the GitHub Terms of Service "Contributions Under Repository License" clause sufficiently covers everything and agree that no CLA is needed as discussed in #424 The Terms of Service don't necessarily transfer copyright ownership of contributions to the project or maintainer, so attributing all the contributors as a whole does seem it would be an appropriate practice as OpenStreetMap does (they always say Copyright OpenStreetMap Contributors); has a side effect of gives good vibes by crediting the contributors as well. Glad we were all able to dig into and learn something on that. Thanks for all your work! |

Sure, I created a new pull request and referenced this one in it. Here is the example license and attribution format used by Open Street Map for reference: |
