如果是这样,您的政策是什么?您是否为所有源代码文件声明了版权/商业机密,或者您是否仅为那些包含商业秘密的商业秘密申请版权?
您可以发布带有法律术语的样本评论块以及您是如何到达它的吗?
我提出这个问题,因为前一段时间,当我在IBM工作时,有一些具体的说明,说明在软件标题的合法部分放入什么似乎很有意义。索赔有不同程度的保护。最低的公开可用,在这种情况下,您将提供标准的“AS-IS”/“无保修”/“免费”/“保留此消息”条款。下一级声称Proprietrary / Confidential并声明只允许明确授权的个人访问(并且如果雇员/承包商结束他们的关系,他们必须返回/删除/去除等等。最高声称内容是商业秘密并且去了更进一步。
我知道这不是一个严格的编程问题,但我想不出一个更好的地方来调查真正的开发人员做了什么,可能让人们发布他们的政策甚至样本标题(省略公司名称等)
我将首先发布我正在使用的那个作为答案。我通过在Google Code上运行搜索来构建它(奇怪且具有讽刺意味的是,那里有很多这样的标题可供公开使用),然后从每个搜索中获取最好的东西。
我希望SO社区可以向上/向下投票并为每个答案添加评论,我们可以演变为其他人可以遵循的最佳实践。
如果这是最好的社区维基,我对此100%罚款。我会让别人做出决定。

我知道我只是浪费了一个上午经历所有这些并将它们从“Copyright(c)xxxx-2009”更改为“Copyright(c)xxxx-2010”并重建所有内容。
