I thought of it when I made the change, but I did not know of any pertinent rule. At the page you link to, I suppose you aim at this phrase: > Source files contributed to or developed as part of an ASF project > should begin with a copyright notice like > > Copyright 2004 The Apache Software Foundation. > or > Copyright 1999-2004 The Apache Software Foundation. > or > Copyright 2002,2004 The Apache Software Foundation. > > where the years given start with the first publication year of the > file contents (the authored expression) and include a range of years > for each year that new significant content (derivative work) is > published within the file.

On the one hand it speaks about new significant content, which would mean: leave out 2005. On the other it speaks about a range of years due to the public accessibility (meaning continuous publication?), which would mean: 1999-2006.
