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