I understand it is standard practice to include such headers in business apps in the U.S., but code donated by other developers in a peer forum requires disclaimers with the code in your business app if used and if such an ownership is stated in the prg.

I agree with this and I corrected the error. As I said, we have a standard info inserted in the program and when I found out the author of the code I wanted to attribute it correctly thus I just put the name without realizing that I have to remove copyright line.

I meant, that the results of this code are not reversive as pointed by Fabio Lunardon. There is a long discussion on the age calculation. To be honest, at this point I'm confused and not sure, what is the right way and what is not.

Anyway, my manager thinks that the current code is enough for our purpose, so I leave it as is.

I made the correction regarding the ownership and apologize for not noticing it before. Next time when I attribute the code to someone I'll make sure to remove the copyright line.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
