Copyright Date Notation: Copyright information is provided in the header
of each file. This copyright information includes the year(s) in which
copyrighted additions to the file were made. A comma ('.') is used to
separate years in the list of years. A hyphen ('-') is used as a more
compact notation when additions were made over several consecutive years.
So for example, "2007, 2011" would mean that copyrighted addtiions
were made during the years of 2007 and 2011. Whereas "2007-2011"
would indicate copyrighted additions in the years 2007, 2008, 2009,
2010, and 2011.
