There are a number of problems with these documents at this point. To be honest, the copyright years in the document really are the least of my concerns with them right now. But, are the release notes for a specific version of FreeBSD copyrighted for the entirety of the Project as a whole, or the year(s) the release in question was in the release cycle? I do not know the answer. Similar was done for 9.2-RELEASE, and I think 8.4-RELEASE, fwiw. Glen
