That looks fine, although I wonder whether it is acceptable, when
the list of years gets this long, to just condense it to `1995--2002'.
Does anyone have an opinion on that?  Does it make any difference
legally?

BTW, when you are posting a second review of a change it is usually best
to provide a diff that is "relative" to your previous diff.  You can
prepare such a diff using the program `interdiff' (which is in the
`patchutils' Debian package).
