| According to the [CU Innovations office](https://www.cuanschutz.edu/cu-innovations) when creating or modifying a license you must include the following line (with the appropriate year): | ||
| `Copyright (c) <year> the Regents of the University of Colorado` | ||
| If the copyright includes a range of years it is best practice to include this range in place of a single year: `<first_year>-<last_year_developed>` |

I agree with this sentiment and just the same thought it might help to strengthen this with a citation. Is there a reference we could add here to help bolster the strength of this statement?

This is what I gathered from chatgpt, also Mike supplied this resource but it seems to focus on blogs and websites (https://www.copyrightlaws.com/copyright-symbol-notice-year/). Maybe I'll try looking for another resource
