Matt Foley commented on HADOOP-7648:
------------------------------------
In the USA, the correct form of the year in a copyright statement (I've been
told by multiple lawyers) is either:
* YYYY, the year in which the referenced document was created, eg 2009, or
* YYYY-ZZZZ, where YYYY is the year in which the first (oldest) version of the
referenced document was created, and ZZZZ is the year in which the referenced
document was most recently modified (newest), thus 2009-2011.
If a document has actually not been modified since its original creation year,
then the first form is correct.
> Update date from 2009 to 2011
