Thanks for the report. I believe this is similar to https://github.com/nishanths/license/issues/32 (please let me know if you find out otherwise). The line:

Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]

is under the following section of the license:

APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

For this reason, the [yyyy] and [name ...] placeholders should be left as is. Solr, which is an Apache project, also leaves this line as is in its license; see the link below.
