It should *only* be the first year of publication: i.e. 2004 is correct. (httpd does it wrong.) Note that the ASF will be updating our standard licensing template soon to conform better with legal requirements. Now that you guys should be on the HTTP Server PMC soon, you should be seeing the emails from our Legal folks with the new template. I hope that we'll see this within the next month, but who knows... Keep your eyes open on that front; when that comes down, there will be a bunch of commits to a lot of files across the entire foundation. =) Thanks. -- justin
