Update Copyright notice to remove year #3204

kwiknick · 2017-02-26T05:07:18Z

This change is to fix Issue #3148 - Update copyright notices.
Changed the ManagedEntranceStrings resource file to take in a parameter. Then edited the ManagedEntrance.cs to grab the year using GetDate.Now and placing it in the banner variable for display when powershell is opened.

Do we really need this variable if it is used only in one place?

I pulled it into a local variable because it's being used on line 113 and 115.

Maybe I was not accurate. This variable is under the #if directive and actually used once in the result code.

lzybkr · 2017-02-26T16:16:27Z

Maybe we don't even need the year, that would be even simpler.

kwiknick · 2017-02-26T17:22:38Z

I can change it to not have a year, but I was trying to fulfill what was asked in Issue #3148. There are no concerns of legal implications if the date isn't in there?

Currently all MSFT applications use a year in copyright (cmd.exe, notepad.exe, skype...)

lzybkr · 2017-02-26T19:34:59Z

We can follow up, but it might just be a historical thing, or copying a pattern. There was a move to remove the copyright year from source files at one point.

iSazonov · 2017-02-26T19:48:56Z

It seems that this (year) is tied to the main release time. I agree that is internal MSFT pattern. Perhaps it has historical legal roots.

andyleejordan · 2017-02-27T23:10:17Z

Aye, we need @joeyaiello and @SteveL-MSFT to weigh in on the legal question.

SteveL-MSFT · 2017-02-28T21:11:25Z

I'll follow up on this.

kwiknick · 2017-03-01T02:58:00Z

Thanks for all the comments and feedback. I out of habit brought my fork up to upstream/master, which, as it's supposed to, kicked off the CI builds. I didn't change any of the code I submitted. I'm just big on keeping my branch, fork in this case, up to date in order to limit merge conflicts.

Waiting on legal

joeyaiello · 2017-03-01T17:48:28Z

Just so I understand, is the date dynamically generated at build time or runtime? If I had to guess, I think runtime is probably problematic, but that's just a hunch.

Either way, I'm sending off the mail to legal now

SteveL-MSFT · 2017-03-01T18:00:58Z

@joeyaiello I've already started a conversation with legal

kwiknick · 2017-03-01T18:15:50Z

@joeyaiello It is generated at runtime, which I can see how/why It'd be problematic. If legal decides that they want the date, I'll get it to generate at build time. I should've done that in the first place.

daxian-dbw · 2017-03-02T19:27:59Z

Just found that dotnet publish with the RC4 dotnet CLI doesn't have the year in coryright banner now:

PS:53> dotnet publish -f netcoreapp1.0 -c release
Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.1.545.13942
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

  console -> X:\arena\apps\console\bin\release\netcoreapp1.0\console.dll

powershell should go this direction too.

joeyaiello · 2017-03-02T21:30:17Z

We'll ask if that's an option to legal as well

iSazonov · 2017-03-03T03:58:42Z

For legal too: What copyright we should use in the files? These files have been published under MIT. There are also new files.

SteveL-MSFT

We are approved to just use:

kwiknick · 2017-03-03T17:20:28Z

@SteveL-MSFT That's great news! I'll update it this evening and push the changes. Thanks everyone for all the collaboration.

Fixes Issue #3148

kwiknick · 2017-03-04T16:00:56Z

@SteveL-MSFT the changes have been made and this is ready for review. Thanks for being so helpful.

iSazonov · 2017-03-04T16:34:45Z

src/Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost/host/msh/ManagedEntrance.cs

 #else
-                var banner = ManagedEntranceStrings.ShellBanner;
+                var banner = string.Format(ManagedEntranceStrings.ShellBanner);


string.Format - It seems should be removed.

And why we use Core and non-Core banner?

kwiknick · 2017-03-04T17:01:24Z

@SteveL-MSFT Thanks for catching the unnecessary string.Formats. I forgot to remove them as well a couple using statements. The way I read the code when I first forked it, was that it shows a different banner based on the OS of the machine. Do you want me to remove that as well and just have it to be the same message regardless?

iSazonov · 2017-03-04T17:41:49Z

I remember that @lzybkr open PR to remove Windows PowerShell from the repo so I believe we should remove the non-Core banner.

SteveL-MSFT · 2017-03-04T19:53:40Z

@iSazonov I believe that PR is to just stop building Windows PowerShell. I would leave the non-Core banner for now.

iSazonov · 2017-03-04T20:50:06Z

I agree.
