I think the current guidance is that if you use Signed-off-by:, newly
added files shouldn't have FSF copyright.  With FSF copyright, the year
on new files should start 2022, per FSF guidance.

“# define” per our style, I think.  (I haven't verified that the number
is okay.)

Thanks,
Florian

Do you mean those files should have no copyright text at all, or
should they have a copyright text with the name of the author, or
should we use a SPDX license identifier ?

Thanks,

Mathieu

He current guidance is on the wiki:

<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist#Update_copyright_information>

It currently suggests

     Copyright 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

for the FSF case (no Signed-off-by: in the commit message), and

     Copyright The GNU Toolchain Authors.

for Developer Certificate of Origin case.
