Editing Copyright line in Apache2 license.txt

Question

I wish to publish my program under Apache2 license. I have added the "APPENDIX" part of the license text to the top portion of my source.txt file and edited the copyright year and name.

But when I add the license.txt file in the same archive with sourcecode, should I edit the copyright line wih my name and year? Or should I let the copy of license.txt intact as downloaded from apache site?

Answer 1

Substitute your own copyright name and year - (from Apache license documentation):

To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]" replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include the brackets!) The text should be enclosed in the appropriate comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a file or class name and description of purpose be included on the same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier identification within third-party archives.
