Hey I’m looking for an example of what to write in my plugin’s copyright notice.
Epic themselves just write
“Copyright Epic Games, Inc. All Rights Reserved.”
Is that all I need, my name? No year, links or anything else?
Hi bibbis,
Maybe I’m being a bit overkill, but my cpp files having something like:
//
// rdLOD_About.cpp
//
// Copyright (c) 2019 Recourse Design ltd. All rights reserved.
//
// Creation Date: 26th July 2019
// Last Modified: 26th July 2019
//
and header files something like:
// rdTex_PixelWrappers.h - Copyright (c) 2021 Recourse Design ltd.

Hey @bibbis!
To add on a bit more to @RecourseDesign’s example, if you are submitting your product to the marketplace, the best practice is that all your header files contain at least the year of publication and your name/seller name at minimum.
Another simple example would be:
// Copyright 2023 bibis All rights reserved.

The default format is to use:
“Copyright (c) {Year}, {CompanyName}. All rights reserved.”
Where “year” is the date of initial creation of the file.
Above is just the copyright notice. If you wish to link anything else such as agreements, terms and conditions, license etc a source code file is not really the place to link them. You should link to those on your website, e-mail, marketplace page etc and make them accessible as required by law.
