The maintainers' guide says not to use a range at all:

       Do not abbreviate the year list using a range; for instance, do not
    write `1996--1998'; instead, write `1996, 1997, 1998'.  Do write each
    relevant year as a four-digit number.  In the normal course of
    maintenance, you may come across copyright notices which omit the
    century, as in `1996, 97, 98'--change these to include the century.
    However, there is no need to systematically change the notice in every
    old file.
