Copyright Year is still 2010 in the newest Fedora Download

Dear Fedora Team,

The copyright year in the newest Fedora download shows still 2010. A screenshot has been attached along with this note. Just thought I would bring the same to Fedora Installation Support team.

We're not the support team.

What Glennzo is saying is that this is an independent Forum, with no direct connection to the FedoraProject. See that FedoraProject link at the top of the page? That's where you need to go to get someone informed. We're just users helping users here in the Forum.

@deepaklinux

"Copyright year" on a product doesn't necessarily get set to the current year.
If no details of the copyright changes, the year stamped on it may stay
the same for an indefinite period until a change is made.

Re: Copyright Year is still 2010 in the newest Fedora Download

well, since F14 was released in 2010, and the install media images were created in 2010, it makes sense that the installer would show a 2010 copyright date.

Like leigh123linux said. bug M$ because their install media shows a 2008 copyright date (I still have a version that shows a 1985 copyright date, too but I haven't complained to them about that one yet. I even still have my squeegee and washcloth that M$ sent me)
