Hello everybody,

maybe you have noticed that uDIG Team migrated to org.locationtech.udig namespace and shoot out an ALPHA Release recently.

Next step before Eclipse IP review starts again we have to change copyrights for source files. To do this with a minimum of effort I tested Eclipse Releng tools and I'm pretty excited how smooth it went to change headers. Thank you Wayne for sharing the link on Twitter!

Now the question about the header content itself. Sharon provided a template for EPL + EDL headers in June this year. I used it and filled out parameters that it looks like that (note: ${date} will be replaced with 2004,2013 by Copyright fixes in Eclipse IDE):

    Axios - Spatial Toolbox

Questions:

• Is it correct that Refractions Research was/is the initial contributor?
• Is that a valid header for all involved parties, independently whether companies exists anymore?
• Did I missed to add a company for the Contributors List (Lisasoft?)
• @Jody : Do you agree to commit header changes on a new locationtech_IP-Branch?

Regards,
