As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Backported from #70885.
It's useful context for translators but it generates very spammy diffs whenever
a line is added or removed, changing the comments for hundreds or thousands of
msgids needlessly.
We still have the file names so it's relatively easy to search in file to find
the location of the source string.
(cherry picked from commit dbfe36728e)
Change extract script `path` argument to support specifying multiple
paths, like `makerst.py`. This prevents parsing invalid XML files while
scanning the whole repository.
