Eh? What's the point in giving your copyright a date range? Copyright
should have a single date, the date of first publication.
Dunno where you are, so:
http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap3.html (US Law)
http://www.intellectual-property.gov.uk/std/faq/copyright/how_long.htm (UK
Law, Computer software falls under "Literary Work")
What's the purpose of expressing a date range when copyright's duration is
relative to the date you die? Or the date of creation or first publication
for "works made for hire", whatever that means.
