Hi, should the copyright notices in the bottom of the page be changed to 2021 from 2020? I have just noticed it, while it is almost 5 months of 2021. :)

Assuming we use a version of phpbb developed in 2021, I suppose yes we should. :mrgreen:

Yes, it should, and it will at some point. ;)

@OP: Note that those ranges do not tell you how long the copyright "lasts", they tell you when the copywritten (copyrighted?) material was created; i. e. regardless of those numbers being out of date by half a year, the content does not suddently stop being copywritten (copyrighted????).

There's also the point that there's no requirement to include a copyright notice at all - it's merely a convenience to the viewer so that they know who to contact regarding copyright issues

Copyright is automatic, and you have to explicitly license your creations in order for them to *not* be copyrighted
