Since my January 10th post of the same title was such a hit (at least according to my Web logs), I thought I'd revisit this subject. To summarize: on January 10th, 50% of the content management companies I track hadn't updated their copyright notices to say "2006," even though the ability to update content at a specific date and time is a common feature of such packages. As of early January, the guilty parties were: ATG, BEA, CrownPeak, Day Software, Ektron, Interwoven, iUpload, Mediasurface, Open Text, and Stellent.
Since we're almost entering the second quarter of the year, let's see how we're doing. The answer is better -- but four are still stuck in 2005.
The current laggards are highlighted in red (ATG, BEA, CrownPeak Technology, and Day Software); the companies who updated their copyright notices within the past three months have asterisks after their names.
- ATG (www.atg.com) -- 2005 on the Legal page
- BEA (formerly Plumtree Software) (www.plumtree.com) -- 2005
- Convio (www.convio.com) -- 2006
- CrownPeak Technology(www.crownpeak.com) -- 2005
- Day Software (www.day.com) -- 2005
- Documentum (EMC) (www.documentum.com) -- 2006
- Ektron* (www.ektron.com) -- Was 2005 in January; it's now 2006
- FatWire Software (www.fatwire.com) -- 2006
- IBM (www.ibm.com) -- No copyright notice
- InStranet (www.instranet.com) -- 2006
- Interwoven* (www.interwoven.com) -- Was 2005 in January; it's now 2006
- iUpload (www.iupload.com) -- Was 2005 in January; it's now 2006

- Vignette (www.vignette.com) -- 2006
- WebSideStory (www.websidestory.com) -- 2006
It will be interesting to see if the laggards make it to mid-year still claiming it's 2005.
