Copyright-holder and year information is extracted from git log.
git history begins in 2005. So (C) from 1998..2005 is lost. Also some
(C) assignment of commits where the committer didn't use --author.
Note that on those platforms the application name
is a full path. This is permitted by the specs:
“executable_name MUST be the executable name that the program was launched with. For C programs, this is simply the value of argv[0]” [http://non.tuxfamily.org/nsm/API.html#n:1.2.1.1.]
but the current implementation of nsm expects the basename
only and searched $PATH.
