Remarks

The copyright year is usually identified within the copyright statement, as this statement is expected to be displayed. The year may also be repeated in the element <copyright-year>.

Multiple Copyright Statements: The copyright statement is allowed to repeat (within the <permissions> element), to allow an organization to tag information such as the following:

• Several equivalent copyright statements, each in a different language.
• Both a historical copyright statement and the current owner’s copyright.
• The copyright statements for different countries, even if they are all in the same language.

The <copyright-holder>, <copyright-statement>, and <copyright-year> elements may be used only within the container element <permissions>.
