Vincent, I don't know the official Apache or Jakarta policies, if there are any. I have tried to follow something I read in the Taligent guide to designing programs (A C++ era coding convention/design guide book), where it states "If you significantly modify a file, list the year of the modification. The years correspond to publication, not creation, dates. Separate consecutive years with a dash, but off years with a comma // Copyright (c) 1992, 1994-1996 ...." Seems a reasonable approach.
