Sorry, I confused things by using the word "outdated". I wasn't
referring to the date in the copyright statement, but to the fact that
it says "Livecode is free software [... GPL]", and "this file is part
of Livecode", and implications that may have on the license situation
for the widget and anyone who uses it in an app.

Legally the only date that matters is the date of creation. Almost
everyone adds the current date as well, and I keep trying to talk my
clients out of it but they won't listen. Then I have to keep updating
the copyright string, knowing it doesn't matter, but if I don't the
app looks old and unsupported. Some time back I wrote a handler that
updates the end date to the current year on launch so I don't have to
worry about it.
A single copyright creation date is valid for the life of the creator
plus (in the US) 75 years.
Oh well.

What's NavRAD? It's a better version of LiveCode's NavBar widget.
Why "RAD"? Cos Ralph A DiMola said so, since he added the first two
nifty
updates to it:
I see the code has an outdated copyright statement, which would (I
think) currently mean that any app using it would (potentially) become
open-source (GPL). If that;s not the intent, maybe it could be updated ?
