Don't extent copyright to past years

Let the Application don't show copyright years extending to the past in the About Dialog. Say for example, don't show 2015-2010. Show just 2015 instead.

This bug may be present in several GNOME Applications.

Why not show it?
Comment 2 Mohammed Sadiq 2016-03-18 17:41:48 UTC
If its shown as 2012-2015. It's OK. But If it's shown 2015-2012, the user might thing that the software is not well designed (A bad image on GNOME?).

Well, As the user know its already past 2015, the software creation year (Hopefully, no time machines yet), I don't see a reason to show the past years.
