I personally don't have a strong opinion on this. It's certainly preferable to use the same style as in shader.c everywhere, but for me this is not a commit-stopper. Henri is usually pretty uptight about style in wined3d(at least in the parts he has reformatted in the past), but I think if he had objections he'd have voiced them by now.

I'd recommend to talk to the other d3dx9 developers about those issues, and whether you want to set any styles for the library as a whole.

I have seen people adjust the years for simple fixes, although I don't know if there is a formal policy. Since your patches are going in now I guess anything from "2009", "2009, 2010" to "2010" is warranted.

Since most countries don't require a copyright notice any longer(although still recommend it) I guess there is no real legal significance to the year. In most places copyright expiration doesn't depend on the publication date but on the year of the death of the last surviving creator.

IANAL, somebody who knows this better please correct me.
