For example, a file created in 2009 includes relevant copyright notice and in 2013 the file receives update. Is it required to update the copyright year to 2009-2013?
The general rule is that a file that has been created in 2009, not touched in 2010, 2011 and 2012, and updated in 2013 by the same author, would have "2009, 2013" in the copyright notice; 2009-2013 indicates continuous development. I'm not sure what the official Boost policy is, though.
Peter, It's an interesting point. I didn't realise such time continuity matters for the same author. I think it would be a good idea to wrap up some guidelines for that. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
