From https://hynek.me/til/copyright-years/ https://hynek.me/til/copyright-years/
>Every January 1st, an army of open source developers rushes out to update their copyright attributions in licenses and documentation. Why? Because we’ve always done it that way.
>I’ve stopped participating after I learned that copyright statements need only the year of the first publication and no lawyer that I asked contradicted
>Now, I’m not a lawyer, so don’t take this as legal advice from me. All I’m saying is that if it’s good enough for Google’s, Microsoft’s, and Netflix’s lawyers, it’s good enough for me
