Aleksey,
your plugins say for example
"Copyright 2002, 2010"
Shouldn't that read
"Copyright 2002-2010"
?

To my knowledge, there's no difference between these 2 notations, because legally it is important to know when the copyright first appeared, and when the last change was made (copyright to some matters is limited in time and it's important to know the year of latest act of creation).

Anyway, I see the "copyright" string a bit vague in software land, because for example some of the Voxengo software had no recent updates, and they list an "older" copyright while, legally speaking, I still have the rights to sub-license that software. Copyright is not always related to authorship, so I'm not totally correct mentioning the "act of creation" - but in my case the "act of creation" creates copyright (since I'm the author of the software). So, if we are talking about right to sub-license and the years this right exists, writing 2002-2010 is probably more on-topic.

Yeah,
"2002, 2010" sounds like "2002 and 2010" to me while "2002-2010" sounds like "2002 till 2010" ...
I just never saw the notation with a comma, that's why I posted it here ...
