Copyright year in sample code.
During the previous release, one of the IPMC members mentioned seeing
"Copyright (c) 2016, Apache Foundation" in our documentation. I tracked it
down to sample code....
Feed feed =
feed("tag:juneau.apache.org", "Juneau ATOM specification",
"2016-01-02T03:04:05Z")
.rights("Copyright (c) 2016, Apache Foundation")
This isn't a real copyright. It's an example of using a copyright in Atom
feeds.
Do these need to be updated every year? If so, should I replace them with
some other copyright? (e.g. Foobar Foundation?)

James,
I would reach out on the general list and confirm that this is what they
saw (I'm assuming this was a comment from Justin). If this is the issue, I
would recommend changing it some invalid dates and a fictitious company to
avoid any confusion from reviewers.
E.g. 1955 - 1971, Fake Atom Enterprises
