Ummm...why are there no dates associated with Amazon any more? And did HPE, Fujitsu, Sandia, and Google actually submit changes this year?

I followed #9039 by bumping all '21 to '23. Having said that, v5.0 was in development well over 2 years I don't see how I can track down who all actually contributed. I could leave it out apart from the key contributors that I'm aware of and let others complain. I figured this was safer. As far as Amazon, they're going to a dateless format and asked me to remove the dates.
I see that Nanuk is 2021 - does it need an end date or update to '23?

Doesn't really matter - I have no intentions of enforcing anything anyway

Well, based on what our lawyers told us when we started the project, a copyright without date is legally meaningless. You cannot claim a time-unlimited copyright - no such legal thing. Don't know if it invalidates the entire license, or if it just means Amazon has no legal rights. You should check with your own lawyers to see before releasing it that way.

I've spoken to amazon guys, readding the date is fine too, so for consistency I'll do revert their dates.
