in my mind, # Copyright (c) 2013 OpenStack, LLC. is fine.

i usually see the years listed, either separately as a range, but you'd have to ask a lawyer to know if it matters.

i think the general model is that we should encourage people to make sure the copyright date on any file they tweak is updated.

Hi Dan,

Yes, I saw both too, maybe we should give some guideline in HACKING.rst for keep our source code style consistent.
I found this http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/development_guidelines.html from swift document.

Can you help with this problem?
