k-takata/Onigmo

Is Copyight Date range in COPYING file correct given the use of later code from Oniguruma?

I.e. the lines in the COPYING file currently:

* Copyright (c) 2002-2009 K.Kosako <sndgk393 AT ybb DOT ne DOT jp>

and

Onigmo/COPYING

Line 37 in b6c0a6b

* Copyright (c) 2002-2009 K.Kosako <sndgk393 AT ybb DOT ne DOT jp>

do not reflect the later content in regversion.c:

* Copyright (c) 2002-2016 K.Kosako <sndgk393 AT ybb DOT ne DOT jp>

"Onigmo " ONIG_VERSION_STRING " : Copyright (C) 2002-2016 K.Kosako, "

in win32/onigmo.rc:
VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyright (C) 2002-2016 K.Kosako, 2011-2016 K.Takata\0"

and in enc/mktable.c:
* Copyright (c) 2002-2016 K.Kosako <sndgk393 AT ybb DOT ne DOT jp>

and I was hoping that those lines in the COPYING file (and possibly onigmo.h) could be fixed (set to range 2002-2016 perhaps, if that is appropriate) to clear this small matter up. ๐Ÿ˜„

I regret if this sounds a bit picky but I am working on a GPL Project that uses a component from a library that itself uses Onigmo and I am checked that we correctly list the details of the non-GPLed code (that we need to do so to comply with the various MIT/BSD licences terms as I understand it) ๐Ÿ˜‡ and, having spotted this inconsistency would like to get it cleared up...

I have updated the copyright information in #126 to reflect the latest status.

Ah, just passing by and I think this issue can be closed off now - thanks.
