I guess the concern was that perhaps there was a single correct notice to be used, and that some of you guys made a mistake somewhere. I don't expect that you make such mistakes, but I guess that's what Paul meant.
Well, thanks to Hung-Te’s clarifying answer, at least the inconsistent spelling of »The Chromium*OS Authors.« with or without space shows that a mistake indeed was made while copying.
Also I assume, that the inconsistency in adding »All rights reserved.« or having the copyright sign spelled with a capitalized »(C)« or not »(c)« is a mistake (and not a policy decision).
So to keep the differences between files small, it would be awesome if some Google/Chromium OS developer could unify that and set up some pre-commit hook checking that with each commit.
Thanks,
Paul
