Hurrah, thanks!

Good idea! In my defense (!), I try and keep my diffs as minimal as
possible so:

 - They apply more-easily to newer versions (in case the patch never
   makes it upstream, obviously not applicable here)
 
 - They more easily demonstrate the problem to the maintainer, even
   if its done in a dumb way.

 - My Pascal is very very rusty! I last used it in 2004!

Anyway, thanks again for merging :)


Best wishes,

Hi,

I have applied a modified version of your patch upstream, see
https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/commit/35a19832b84c396c6c5d3521e8afd50f8055d492
(I only moved the logic to a separate function CopyrightYears, used 2
times). Thank you!

Regards,
Michalis
