If you're talking about US copyright
law, then it's possibly true.
I was only talking about US copyright law. I don't know the answer for
a fact myself, it's not like I know where to look in the civil code.
But it's been stated several times by the FSF lawyers (I asked them once
again for confirmation recently, but have not received an answer yet).
That's all I'm going by.
Under UK copyright law, the opposite is true: If copyright is
claimed for more than two consecutive years, then they MUST be
specified as a range to be legally valid.
Let's hope that a joint US-UK free software project is never challenged
in court then :).
