Yes. It shows that a project is still active

Agreed, though that is obvious from the release schedule.

and we care about the
copyright. The Sage project claims copyright on the Sage standard
documentation for each year the project is active.


So does this mean the copyright has already expired then, since we are in April 2011?

I'm not a lawyer, but I doubt this is legally necessary. I just did a search of the GCC source tree and find 34235 copyright notices that do not include the year 2011. Clearly the FSF don't seem to take this matter seriously.
