Comment:

 Here is a proposed fix:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commit/?h=bug16910-01&id=90aa526e3d4de29660e69ad3839a0439d7dc22cc
 To ensure reproducibility even if someone builds during a different
 calendar year, this patch grabs the year from the date of the last tor-
 browser commit and inserts that as the copyright year on Mac OS.
 Please review.

 Also, this is not a problem on Windows because the firefox.exe resource
 does not include a year in the copyright field. Maybe we should add "Tor
 Project" to the copyright notices on Windows? I wonder if there is already
 a ticket for that issue.
