Also I (we?) have not checked this rule http://www.law.cornell.edu/treaties/berne/overview.html. I just tried but did not find anything obvious...
Some links
http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Copyright_duration
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright#Duration
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_on_harmonising_the_term_of_copyright_protection#Duration_of_protection

Finally I wonder now if we really need to put and end date there...!

Maybe David Goodenough can enlighten us ?

I think we should undo this change. The dynamic dates represented here do not copyright the files that the code is in, they copyright what the code produces, and that is constantly changing so the dynamic date is appropriate.

Log:
See http://markmail.org/message/znytl2y4inpmxbdo (David Goodenough's  advice on 
copyright update)
extract : "My understanding of the Berne Convention rules for Copyright (which covers most jurisdictions - even the USA now), is that the copyright period only gets extended when the copyrighted item gets updated."
