The text on the apache legal page states: http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice The top of each NOTICE file should include the following text, suitably modified to reflect the product name and year(s) of distribution of the current and past versions of the product: Apache [PRODUCT_NAME] Copyright [yyyy] The Apache Software Foundation Note it specifically says "year(s)". Also, the sample notice file linked to from there: http://www.apache.org/licenses/example-NOTICE.txt specifically uses a range: Apache HTTP Server Copyright 1999-2006 The Apache Software Foundation Thus, I think the current version is correct.
