Legally the only date that matters is the date of creation. Almost everyone adds the current date as well, and I keep trying to talk my clients out of it but they won't listen. Then I have to keep updating the copyright string, knowing it doesn't matter, but if I don't the app looks old and unsupported. Some time back I wrote a handler that updates the end date to the current year on launch so I don't have to worry about it.

A single copyright creation date is valid for the life of the creator plus (in the US) 75 years.

Oh well.

Why "RAD"? Cos Ralph A DiMola said so, since he added the first two nifty
updates to it:

I see the code has an outdated copyright statement, which would (I
think) currently mean that any app using it would (potentially) become
open-source (GPL). If that;s not the intent, maybe it could be updated ?

Currently it says
