@Veetaha this looks good, thanks a lot :) btw why not 2025? copyright years are not necessary in a copyright, but since you have it and are just starting, might as well go with the latest year. |

2024 is the year this work started and was made public, which is what the year should stand for according to Wiki🤔

@Veetaha as I said, copyright years are not mandatory. If you have 2024, then 2024-current is inferred. If you have 2025, then we take it that you have the copyright in the latest year. Even if you not add anything, it still doesn't matter as you own the copyright anyway since the first publishing of the work. So it's nothing to be hung up on. It's your call, doesn't really matter :) |

Okay, thanks for looking at this. The year doesn't seem very important, so I'll follow Wiki's stance on this here. Merging, and preparing a patch |

@Veetaha thank you! an example for some further reading: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/01/08/copyright-without-years/ |

Huh, thanks for sharing that. Curl's view on this is really useful. It's also the reason I intentionally avoided a range of years here =) |

The MIT license has a standard header for the copyright notice. Apache doesn't seem to have one. Anyway, I think this should be enough
