Document copyright year range notation in README.
The FSF now allows year range notation for copyright years. See `6.5 Copyright Notices' from: http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html We comply with the FSF requirements for the use of range notation by documenting the usage in our README.
