Currently it finishes with:
Copyright (C) 2003, 2004, 2005 Fedora Project.  All rights reserved.
...

Does this mean changes made in 2006/7 won't be covered ?
Do we need to include any year in which changes/work has been performed 
{or perhaps a range}.

I am not sure whether the copyright notice is intended to protect the 
EULA, or the fedora distribution itself ;)

From:
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#noc

It suggests only the first year of publishing should be included. But it 
isn't clear whether FC6 is a different work to FC7, and hence should 
only show it's year of publishing ?
In my mind, FC7 is not a "re-print" of FC6 with some typos fixed - it is 
more a new work. What would rh legal say about this ?
