Hi, Red Hat Legal person here. So a couple of things. One, many many years ago I proposed that Fedora cease using "Red Hat, Inc. and others" in its website copyright notice; I'm pretty sure I submitted a ticket on that issue. This practice was famously criticized by Bradley Kuhn in a [blog post](http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2011/06/28/gilligans-island.html). I don't know what I suggested in 2011 but 'Copyright Fedora Project Contributors' or the like would be a possibility. There's no point in giving Red Hat special status and no point in lumping everyone else as an "other" (which now unfortunately makes me think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hanging_Stranger). 

The other thing, and I guess what ard1t was focused on in submitting this ticket, is that you don't need to keep track of years in a website footer copyright notice for the reasons given by Steve Winslow in the Linux Foundation article misc linked to.

It is still somewhat useful to have something that looks like a copyright notice at all, for the reason that people expect it to be there. So I'd change it to "Copyright Fedora Project Contributors" or something along those lines.
