Hi Thomas, 

I assume with this we hope to clarify what time period of changes we are addressing with `-f`. Would something like this communicate what you suggested? 


Usage: update_copyright_year.sh [-c company] [-y year] [-h|f]
options:
-c     Specifies the company. Set to Oracle by default.
-y     Specifies the copyright year. Set to current year by default.
-f     Updates the copyright for all change sets in a given year,
       as specified by -y.
-h     Print this help.
