One of the best places *right now* to ask this question is the Legal & 
Licensing room at FOSDEM, in Brussels, where the top legal(-ish) bods are 
gathered. It is *certainly* not worth the effort to go through and touch all 
the years in one big commit at the start of the year. You may want to do it 
when doing meaningful commits, or when a new contributor shows up, but we can 
place a lot of trust in the revision-control system keeping track of this 
instead of editing a fragile text header.
