This comes up from time to time, and I've never seen a definitive answer 
( unless the answer is do whatever you like ;-) ).

There is a script in the repo [1] for updating the copyright year, that 
is run occasionally. I typically leave it to the script to take care of 
the updates, but occasionally take it upon myself. I don't think there 
is a hard and fast rule here, but I stand to be corrected.
