Re: copyright for merged code

[Richard Stallman]

    i'm presently updating the copyright years in lisp/net/ and
    have come upon a doubt: certain files have been merged from
    outside emacs, w/ copyright notices that show years prior
    to their merging (as far as i can tell from looking at the
    "cvs log" output for these files).  i am inclined to remove
    those years completely, but would like confirmation that this
    is the correct approach.

Please keep the years that were put in the notices before
the files were installed into Emacs.
