The problem is that the upstream isn't explicit in his intents. I
posted a question[1] in debian-legal. Feel free to complement the
information. Now, we need to wait some answers.

It is optional. You can use dates from headers or from release, if you
know this last information and it is public. So, you can use 2007-2013
or 2007-2015.
