Dont forgot to use <script type="text/javascript"> to do it XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
<script type="text/javascript">
d = new Date();
y = d.getFullYear();
document.write(y);
</script>

Yes, but If you put the other vB will order it.
I think Copyright Text should be textarea.

You probably don't have php short tags enabled. Try this instead:
© <?php echo date("Y");?>

Seems kind of silly to have an end date on a copyright though. That implies that you are giving up your copyright at that time. Copyrights already have a definitive end date. That is they end 70 years after the death of the creator. There are legal ways to extend this like transferring the copyright to a legal entity (corporation, trust, individual, etc...) upon death but this is the general consensus. Seventy years after the death of the creator, the copyright goes into the public domain.
To imply an end, means you are willing to give up the copyright. Personally, I don't even know why vBulletin has an end in its copyright because it isn't needed there either. Maybe to show longevity. However on your own site, you shouldn't have an end date. Books list the original copyright date and the date of any subsequent editions. For a website, you only need to list the original date.

some place where an "end date" is needed is when you use the ® right,... (registered for a period)... so 2001-2009 means you registered your company name for that period and after that it is free to be used by someone else... this is tricky if you did not renew your registration though...

The ® symbol indicates a Registered Trademark, this has nothing to do with copyright.

ARGH, you are right, the ? or ? have to be sticky with the name, not the date... lol
