Update licence with copyright information

[yantantether]

Hi, I'd like to make use of your Dockerfiles for internally managed images.
The Copyright section in your Apache licence doesn't have year or copyright holder information.
Would you like to add it so that I can attribute your work?

Hi @yantantether, thanks for raising this.

I'm a little confused as to whether I should be modifying the LICENSE file? The ASL docs suggest that this copyright section is for the license header of individual source files. They say this is optional and I haven't done that, so I'm unclear where copyright should be added and whether that's necessary? Do you have any pointers to what the exact process is?

Hi Mark, so sorry it took ages to reply.

My understanding is that you need to change the copyright year and holder in the licence file itself. e.g.

 Copyright 2023 Mark Hobson

You can then choose to add that to individual source files. At my organisation we decided not to.
When people use your code, they should add the copyright notice to their copy of those individual files.
