[thelist] [SPAM] Re: Automatically updating copyright date in JavaScript - fallback?

[michael ensor]

Because in a [periodical] publication there are several different "flavours" of copyright, including layout, typography etc as well
as literary content.

Most of these operate on calendar years, so run from year of first creation, eg layout, so we end up having a range of relevant
years........up to and including the year of the latest content
