Isn't this something that should only be changed when something in the
document changes ?

A book I bought in 1995 shouldn't need to have the copyright statement
updated just because it's now 2002, since the book hasn't changed.

I'm not sure, that's just my feelings on this.

Well, the script that generates the mail archive pages may have not changed
since 2000, but the contents it creats is updated every 10 minutes or so.
(e.g. http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/cvs-all.html)

I think created new contents may be the subject of updated copyright.

As soon as someone who knows what generates that page turns up.

# mailindex program
$mailindex = '/usr/local/www/mid/bin/mailindex';

... seems to generate this page. But this isn't in the www/ cvs tree.
Maybe the (c) 1995-2000 - line refers to the script/program rather than to
the contents of the page.

Let's think really hard if we really want to change this, and if so,
contact Wolfram Schneider...
