There are many reasons why this may be useful, such as making it easy for theme developers to include a range of dates for their users. It simply eliminates a step for users and simplifies the implementation process. Does that make sense, or have I completely lost my mind?

So what's the benefit of that function? I'm sorry! I can't speak english very well.

There is really only <em>one</em> function that we are sharing here, <code>copyrightDate</code>, which shows a range of dates in a copyright statement. Not sure what you mean here.

Nothing critical, certainly, but a nice feature that could enhance a publicly released theme. It all depends on usage and context, I suppose.

The second piece of code does the job and does not need to be updated. So, what's the benefit of copyrightDate function against that code? I should say that copyrightDate function was pretty neat.

I'd only worry about the extra script for something that could be static. But of course, as you said, for theme developers that would be useful. Very useful indeed.

It also doesn't take into account using WordPress as a non-blog CMS. I think setting your own "start" date for your copyright is the right way to go. I have to agree that it is a bit of an overkill.
