[Scummvm-devel] Engines' copyright notice

Hi,

I was wondering whether the current usage of
MetaEngine::getCopyright() corresponds to what its name suggests.
Right now it's used to return the original engine's copyright, which
in most cases doesn't correspond to the reimplemented engine.

There are two possible solutions here:
1) Change the name of the function so it matches the functionality, to
something like getDescription, getOriginalCopyright, or something like
that
2) Return the current engine's copyright, which in most cases will be
something like "The ScummVM Team", and it will also contain the
original developer when source code was donated.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!
