It applies when something comes into existing. If this eclass did not exist in 2016, a copyright for that year would not be correct. This maybe different for ebuilds, as that could be considered derived from the original ebuild. First one ever written. I am not sure the same applies to eclasses, but it might. In that case the year of the first eclass would be correct. I guess it is safe to always use the oldest year. Most important is that it has the current year if anything. Like things in tree that are copyright 2016. Could have another copyright for 2017. Just as an example, not really something of concern. Though likely would be good to have a script that runs annually to update all copyrights to current year. I do some of that myself and need to do more....
