I'm starting to see a wave of single-PR users on GitHub submitting updates to copyright dates. There is nothing obviously malicious about them, though they have a metallic whiff of bot. Is there any reason to avoid these?
@vascorsd Many tools -- like sbt-header -- get cranky if the year is not consistent across the project. But I've started putting the project start year there and leaving it alone.
@ross yeah, I've seen diffs in scala stuff out there and seen than sbt header plugin thing, but fortunately I never used it personally nor professional.
Usually for work it's all internal stuff so there's not really enforcement around that 😅.
Spdx is the best 😌. I'm really liking the short name for the license, and not having to add huge comments with boilerplate text.
I've been trying / experimenting with using reuse tool to manage these things and it's kinda nice too.
