Hi,

A quick google on "copyright date" gives me this link:
http://www.patents.com/copyrigh.htm
especially the following relevant part:
http://www.patents.com/copyrigh.htm#notice

It is clearly said that you should never omit the oldest date. You may
omit the later one:
"Because of this, it is wise to ensure that nothing in the copyright
notice would mislead the public regarding the end of the copyright
term. If only one year is to appear in a notice, it should be the
oldest year, associated with the oldest of the matter in the work. In
other words, if one must err it should be in the direction of omitting
newer years, not older years."

I hope that helps,

Regards,

Olivier
