! "Our lawyer says it is ok if we add, to each file that has been in Emacs
!  since Emacs 21 came out in 2001, all the subsequent years.  We don't

!  It's sufficient that *Emacs* was changed in those years (and it was!).
  
!  For those files that have been added since then, we should add
!  the year it was added to Emacs, and all subsequent years."
