Updating copyright notice is as useless as the gnu license note itself
in all files. If we are serious about the copyright notice, we should
also be serious about the dates. I don't understand why we should state
in all the files that they were modified in 2014, if they actually were
not. On the other hand I wouldn't start a discussion about it, but if
someone wants to start a discusion about the pointelessness of copyright
notice, I think I may chime in. I believe in gnu license and treat it
seriously. See this post for example:
