Obviously correct, please commit.
Patches to update individual files are also welcome from anybody
(every file with a permissions notice refers users to the FSF to get
copies of the GPL, just in case). No need to fix them all, although
the more the merrier.
Note that some of the Info docs also have copies of the GPL, and other
references.
Please use the following format for ChangeLogs to make it easy to
track which files have been updated:
2006-05-11 J. Random Hacker <jrhack(a)xemacs.org>
* file1:
file2:
Update FSF address in permissions notice.
Note that two spaces separate name, date, and address, and the leading
whitespace in the log entry itself is a single TAB character.
Thanks!
All of this applies to both XEmacs 21.4 and 21.5, of course. And
SXEmacs, I would guess.
Jerry> ChangeLog addition:
2006-04-06 Jerry James <james(a)xemacs.org>
* COPYING: Update to latest upstream version.

Yep, and thanks for reminding me.

It would be a piece of cake to whip up a script to fix them all at once.
It would touch a very large number of files, though. In fact, I still
have a script I wrote way back in my youth that might do the job with
very little modification. I wrote this in grad school when I had to do
a search-and-replace job across a large directory tree:
#! /bin/sh
#
# Usage: replace text1 text2
# Replace all occurrences of 'text1' with 'text2' in every file
# given on standard input. For example, to replace all
# occurrences of 'foo' with 'bar' in files whose names end in
# .txt, issue the following command:
#
# find . -name \*.txt | replace foo bar
while read i; do
sed "s|$1|$2|g" $i > $i.tmp && mv -f $i.tmp $i
done
What do you say? Should I just change them all and get it over with?

(with GNU sed version 4.1.2 and GNU find) should do the same. If you
don't have a recent GNU sed, you may use "perl -w -i~ -p -e" instead.
And dired offers (at least in Emacs 22)...

As long as that's *all* it does, I don't think it's a big problem.
I bet you don't get all the files that need changing though. People
do reformat comments and stuff like that occasionally. :-)

Ben has a relatively intelligent script (gr, it's in the xemacs-builds
module in Ben's subdirectory).

Sure. I'd rather have you fixing comint, but if nobody de-lurks, why
not?
