Scott,
See http://www.eclipse.org/legal/guidetolegaldoc2.php section 5 and the link to "more about about files". That takes you to http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/about.php wherein you find the phrase "enter current date here".  There is no definition of "current date", so interpret as you will, e.g., some people will say "current = when the file was created", some will say "current = when the project was created", some will say "current = when the about files are sent for review", some will say "current = when the official release happens", etc. Take your pick.

The date in the about.html...what must/should it be?  I vaguely recall discussion about this last year (Europa), but I don't remember the conclusion, and not sure if the conclusion is the same for Ganymede.

Currently, we (ECF) have June 29, 2007 in most of our about files.  Should/must this be updated?  If so, to what?  Is it our choice?
